Many school systems across the country are facing strict budget cuts, and one option on the table is going to four-day school weeks to save money. Since we have a president who won't stop the spending, it looks like our school teachers will take the next hit, in income. Sad times.
cutting the education of america's youth by 20% really shouldnt be an option
Stuck on shifting the blame to everyone and anyone, except those to whom it belongs.stuck on stupid ^^^^^

Educational spending has been doing nothing but increasing in this country as our students have been failing at every increasingly levels. Often the school districts that spend the most per student are some of the worst performing districts in the nation.
When are we going to face up to the fact that education can't be fixed by simply throwing money in the the gigantic pot labeled, "EDUCATION," and hoping that the government officials that have been failing so far will magically be able to fix everything with a few billion more of this nation's tax dollars?
To answer the OP. I think that a 4-day school week is a terrible idea - but I support year-round school and more rigorous expectations on students and teachers with drastically increased support from administration. That being said - if a school has these things (high expectations on students, teachers, administrators...and high support for/from students,teachers, and administrators) then I think that they can accomplish in 4-day weeks what so many schools are failing at with 5-day weeks.
The only thing I would add, that could make your analysis a reality, is for parents ( the most important element ) to support the school's teachers and adminstrative policies, and often, even if you could track them down, they aren't going to. The kids know this and this gives the power to the students. ( I know there are exceptions )
You don't know jack squat about what I was saying during Chimpola's regime, little girl. But a lot of other people around here do, and I'm here to tell you it was far from complimentary.Stuck on shifting the blame to everyone and anyone, except those to whom it belongs.stuck on stupid ^^^^^
