Many US Schools Consider Four-Day School Week

To save on transportation, electricity and other costs, some schools are considering transitioning to a four-day school week.

i totaly agree with Lindsey Chapman and Sawin Millitt!!!!!!!!!

what

[jon]

fu

[adden]

good idea

[cindy]

my kids think a 4 day week would be great even though the day is longer - jon - sounds like you could have used more schooling

[Janet]

Our schools are lax enough as it is. Going to just 4 days a week would be an awful choice.

[Anita]

If the remaining 4 days are supposed to be longer, I think I'd rather stick to the usual 5...

[emi]

they need a artical were it is a table where pros are on one side and cons on the other.

[glorious estefan]

Brilliant idea. Give the kids more time to cultivate their interests and personalities. School is way too repressive.

[Lily]

I think my teen would perform much better on a 4 day a week school. I feel the extra day would refresh her brain more.

[FUCKERAGUAN]

im for it all the way 1337

[Benitocamelas]

Yes, I say that four days of school is better and the money that could be save is a lot, then this money could be use for something else.

[Olivia Moseley]

ok, cool

[sara]

i think kids should only have to go to school 4 days i think that because my lil sis is really sick and she has a hard time at school

[ben]

wooo

[STUDENT]

I don't think its a very good idea being the students are very tired.

[lechuga]

lol

[khs student]

i would like to know the specifics of how it would change the schedule, and about how much these schools are saving
but other than that this informations is very reasonable

[student]

im a student who has to go to school 5 days a week. On weeks were we have a late start, early release, or no school day i have proven to do better academically then when we have 5 straight days of school. The 5 day's of school make it seem longer and after about thursday i just get so tired of school i need a brake and just mess around in my classes or don't try and i have studied stundents also and it seems they tend to mess around on thursdays and friday because they are sick of school. So i think a 4 day school week would be good for students rather than a 5 day school week.

Tone it down student, you're practically begging!
