Yes. The four-day week is a workable solution to the budget crunch that schools face.

Maybe. Schools should look at other ways to cut the budget before resorting to a four-day week.

No. The ramifications of a four-day week, such as the need for parents to find child care and problems with extracurricular activities, outweigh the benefits.

I think that we should have a four day school week so we can have time to do projects, and spend time with our family.

I'm a 11th grader in high school and I think this is stupid. There should not be a four day school week that just means longer school days. And all those hours we spend at school on the four day school week will just add up to the one day we have off.

I think haveing no school for one day would be good for me. my dad lives at home. I like to go to school, but alot of the time its soooo boring. I heard some schools already have started a 4-day school week. pretty cool
yes, and let me explain why
lets get a few things down first.
1) if it goes to four day weeks, you'd have longer days, you wouldn't go into july
2) you wouldn't have to pay for all your equipment, though you might if you didn't witch and the district kept paying for five days
3) with a four day a week schedule, you mostly really only go about an hour and a half more than you did before, which is around 10-20 minutes more per period, you wouldn't notice it, and one more hour will not kill you. and there are way more benefits.
You get one more day of relaxation, another day to study, another day to do homework, or work on a project. I'm doing a paper on this and seeing some of these comments, its obvious who knows what they're talking about and who has only heard very little and is making it into extremes in their mind, or are just being... for lack of a better term, idiots. It saves the district money, it saves on valuable non-renewable resources, bringing the prices down hence saving everyone money. It helps the economy, for if people really DO need daycare, which, i find, most likely would not be the case. then they can pay high school students or daycare services who then spend the money and get it flowing through the economy. Less is MORE. Four-day school weeks are far more superior than five day school weeks. Less Stress, more money saved, better attitudes of students AND teachers, when i'm done writing this paper, I plan on sending it to the school board to try and get my district switched to a four day schedule.
