I’m neutral; whatever if they do have a four-day week, I’m fine, but I’m leaning a little towards leaving it to a 5 school day week.

I’m actually debating this for school. =) While researching, I found this website. It’s good. :)

i think its a good idea being read but once you start to actually do it… it will stink!!! we still have to have 180 days in a school year that makes go year round! i dont know about all other school kids but i enjoy my summer… therefore i do not like this idea so much

I love the idea! 4 day school weeks would soooooooo make us like the school better, it would give the teachers more time for themselves, and to come up with a good plan on how to fit the most into a lesson. We’d have more time to study, finish papers, extra curriculars, etc. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

I could not agree with this quote more:

One thing I’ve come to realize is that urgency is overrated. In fact, I’ve come to believe urgency is poisonous. Urgency may get things done a few days sooner, but what does it cost in morale? Few things burn morale like urgency. Urgency is acidic.

I can say from personal experience this is true. Service agencies are inevitably “under the gun” to meet deadlines and that’s not going to change. But all too often you find out the deadline you’re working against is false or arbitrarily imposed.
