The Controversy Of Shortening School Week

It has recently come to my attention that other schools have been thinking about shortening the school week to four days instead of five. Of course, at first glance, this proposition sounds like all of your dreams have come true! Three day weekend every weekend! However, there are many reasons that schools should NOT enforce this rule.
First off, the government requires you to attend school a certain amount of time a day and a certain amount of time a year. With five day weeks and normal hours, we go to school thirty-six weeks a year for about seven and a half hours a day. With four day weeks, we would have to go to school an extra hour and forty-five minutes and for another nine weeks. This would leave only a couple weeks of summer vacation.
Children would most likely lay around. More junk food would be consumed due to kids not knowing or wanting to cook meals. It sounds nice to just be able to lay around, but isn’t the two day weekend enough? I think even if it were to happen, which it shouldn’t, parents would have to probably put exercise regimens into order or cameras in the house.
However, there are some people who would actually want this. They argue that it would allow more time for homework and relaxing. Trust me, kids barely do their homework now, so they would leave it all until the free day and then the day would be spent on homework. There would be more time for bad internet use, not studying! Most people who think that there should be 4 days do not think about the consequences.
Overall, schools should definitely not have four day weeks. With extra school days, more accidents, and more junk food, it is generally a bad idea. If your school board is thinking about putting this into action, make sure your classmates and the school board know the risks. I predict that four day weeks would only make children and parents angry. Always know what you are getting yourself into and always study the
