4 days of school a week?
« on: September 07, 2005, 03:37:47 am »
I have been hearing about this...supposedly they want to make school only 4 days a week, yet add an hour onto each day.  At least in my school district.  This is too save gas prices.  What do you think?

Why an hour?!  Why not earlier?!

Earlier? If I went to public school, I would not want to be there at 6:00 A.M. You would have to get up at 5! Too early, if you ask me. But I wouldn't mind for days a week only...

It wouldn't make sense to get out any earlier.  That'd mean you were in school less than the federally mandated time.  You have to go to school a certain number of hours per year.  If you were in school an hour less, that would add up to more days of school.

Yeah, it's measured by hours.  I found this out a couple of years ago.  We had an ice storm that kept us out of school almost the entire month of February.  Normally, we got out of school at 1:30 on Wednesday, and 3:00 all the other days.  Instead of getting out at 1:30, we went to school 'til 3:00 every day, and started 5 minutes earlier.  All of that, plus the 5 days amnesty granted by the governor allowed us to only have to make up 5 or 6 days of school.

8-4 or 8-5 wouldnt be so bad. As long as lunch is 1 hour long...I'd be happy. 30 minutes for lunch is too short. Some lines are too long and when you sit down with your tray, time is already up.

I wouldn't mind that. Going an hour later would be no big deal to me.

I heard about this too. I wouldn't mind it, but every state would have to do it so others wouldn't complain about it.

I wouldn't mind having an extra hour of school, if it's added in the afternoon, and it's used to make the so I only have school 4 days a week.

In order to make it through the world one needs some insanity.
