Explain Why Schools Should Have 4 Weeks
School should have four days weeks because teachers get more time to prepare for the week. Kids also get more time to do homework. Teachers can get things out for the week. The article states if teachers get time to prepare they can spend less time thinking of what they need on a school day. Teachers get more time teaching than figuring out what they need. If kids get more time to do homework then they could get better grades in homework. If teachers can get things out in advance then the kids will be able to learn more in a day.
All schools should have four day weeks. Teachers get time to prepare. Kids get more time for homework. Teachers can get stuff out for the week.

    Lashunda- I like your thought process, even though there is little research on this topic, it doesn’t promote a four or five day week one way or another. When it comes to childcare concerns, it may be easier for parents to find a sitter one day a week rather than a large period of time over the summer. Anytime changes are implemented there is always a period of uncertainty, I too would be willing to try a schedule change if it might be better for our students.…

    Should Portsmouth students go to school for four of five days a week? Portsmouth is a small school district in central Rhode Island. This town's council is not giving the schools enough money, so that is why there are so many budget cuts. Many of the decisions of the school system are pressured upon the school committee. This school's committee, like every school committee, has been elected to office by the parents and the town's people. Portsmouth should have a four day school week because the four day week saves money, provides extra opportunities for both parents and students, and gives students more time to get better grades.…

    Would you classify yourself as a “Monday-Hater”? A vast majority of students immensely detest Monday because it signifies the end of a relaxing weekend and the beginning of another stressful, busy week. However, if a four day school week was implemented then Monday could be tagged on to the weekend and everyone would become “Tuesday-Haters”. Woodbury High School (WHS) would benefit from a switch to a four day school week because it would save District 833 money, increase student attendance, and decrease the amount of stress in students.…

    If four day weeks were introduced to schools, the students and schools will both benefit. The schools will save a significant amount of money and students will excel academically and behavior will improve drastically. Whenever we have a student/teacher holiday, less students are absent and behave because they are looking forward to less days of the week. When students have less days to worry about, it will make them work harder so they can finish of the week sooner.…

    High school should remain four years. One of the reasons is that students will loose interest in the education if there is a fifth year. By the time students become seniors, they have already lost some interest and are excited to be able to graduate. If a fifth year is added students may drop out of school and only work through the normal four years.…

    Therefor I don’t think our school board should add time to each school day. I think we should keep our schedule starting at 7:30 and ending at 2:30. That way we can get home do chores, play and go to any afterschool activities. If we changed our school hours that would interfere with parents/guardians work schedules. Now with the schedules our school has we don’t get to restless with the teachers or other…

    If school was all year round students will learn more, it will help students stay focused. It will also help teachers and stuff with more jobs security. That will give the parents more time together to plan trips and vacations. It will also leave a lot of stress off their parents because they will know that they are at school and not in the streets doing whatever. I feel there will be less breaking in housing, killing and robberies.…

    If they were to change the traditional school schedule, it would be a lot of confusion especially for parents that have to worry about getting their child to school. It would also cost our country a lot of money to switch the traditional school schedule. By eliminating summer break, students would not be able to experience the joy and freedom of the summer and the special time that would usually be spent with family and friends. Then when everyone goes back to school, they reunite with their friends from the last year or meet new people. If you take away a student's ability to have a vacation you increase the risk of…

    Many schools in the United States are beginning to change their school calendar so their students attend class all year round. The changes still allow the students time off in the summer, but they do not have the three months of break most students in America receive traditionally. Instead, they get a break of a couple weeks in the summer, and the remainder of the time is divided up and put into other breaks throughout the year. All schools in America should switch to a year-round calendar to accommodate the different and higher level of learning needed to be successful in our changing world and society. The traditional school system was designed many years ago when our country was an agricultural nation. Therefore, the school calendar was developed having a long break in the summer so students could assist their family with cultivating crops and other aspects of farm life. The traditional school calendar was not a calendar for higher learning, and should be extended to meet the needs of modern day students. There are many explanations as to why the traditional school calendar should be changed.…

    Many people don't realize that five days of school is too much for students. Some school districts have changed to a four day school week due to the benefits. However, some people don't agree at all. I believe that school districts made the right decision by changing to a four day school weeks.
