i’m a student in a middle school and i think this would be an awsome idea not just becuase i would get a longer weekend but i would have more time to do my home work and not be rushed and we would be able to rest more but idk about the 10 hours a day its seems like a little to long for me but what ever they have to do

[...] South Dakota switched to a four day week in 1995 and estimates they have saved one million dollars. (Lance,2008) The schools that do have the four day week have reported better class attendance by both teachers [...]

THEY CAN’T DOOO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUK!!!!!! THEY WANNA RUIN THE KIDS LIVES JUST BECAUSE THEY’RE CHEAPSKATES!!!!!! AT MY SCHOOL THEY KEEP BUYING NEW EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT SO WHY DON’T THEY JUST STOP DOING THAT INSTEAD OF RUINING OUR SCHEDULE! DO YOU KNOW HOW TIRING IT WOULD BE TO GO TO SCHOOL FOR 10 HOURS!!!!! PLUS WHAT THE HELL ARE WE GONNA HAVE TIME TO DO WHEN WE GET HOME! NOTHING!! BECAUSE OUR WHOLE ENTIRE DAY WOULD BE TAKEN UP BY SCHOOL! ALL WE WOULD GET TO DO IS HOMEWORK! WHAT ABOUT KIDS WHO DO MUSIC! THEY WON’T HAVE TIME TO PRACTISE OR GO TO YOUTH SYMPHONY OR BAND! WHAT ABOUT KIDS WHO VOLUNTEER, DRAW, OR DO SPORTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS SOOOOOOOOO EVIL!! ALL YOU GUYS THAT ARE SUPPORTING THIS ARE IDIOTS!

As a teacher, I like the idea of a 4 day week. I’ve read the results of districts that have tried this idea, and I’ve liked most of the results. There is one thing I think would be more beneficial for the kids and teachers, though. Instead of lengthening the day quite so much, what about adding a few days to the year (less summer regression)? As for the childcare situation mentioned by another commenter, think about the summer. You have to do it then anyway. With a slightly longer school day, and a slightly longer school year, you’re not spending any more on childcare and it’s more spread out than one lump sum in the summer.

My district is considering this and I am against it 100%! what bout the kids who’s parents jobs aren’t 4 days a week? I work as a nurse in a 24/7 facility and no way I could do childcare on the extra day. My son will be home schooled or computer schooled if this happens in my district
