For me I think it’s not right because it’s not right because you have to study because if not you won’t learn anything because it’s necessary to go to school on another occasion because for others it’s fun not going to school because that’s why they don’t go to school it’s necessary
I disagree with the idea of reducing the school week to four days. Although it may seem like students and teachers are being given more break time, this reduction could negatively impact learning. By having one less day of school, students may not receive enough time to understand the content, especially those who need more support. Additionally, families may face logistical issues, such as having to arrange childcare on the day off, which could be a challenge for working parents. In general, I believe that a five-day school week is most beneficial for academic development and family stability.
I disagree because in case we need more time for work. Like if we have an essay and we haven’t finished it we will still have time. If it was just 4 days then we would have less time to finish our work.
Yes because kids get a break from doing work. Sometimes kids get sick and they need days off so since its a 4 day school week then they don’t have to miss school. This is why a 4 day school week is good.
I agree With the county that we should have 4 day weeks because. It will help people with stress and my cousins dose 4 day weeks he gets Friday off And he said that it is great you get to sleep in. you get less assignments and overall it will help. Also you get to have 3 day weekends and that is the best felling ever. Also getting Friday off is such a chill felling and if u have a 4 days off u get less work too.
I agree with it because you get more time to peace to urself and rest a little bit longer and a little bit more stress gone even though that it would take away from learning for a day its more better to get rid of some stress for 3 days so u don’t over do urself with work.
I think it’s a good idea to have 4-day school weeks. I believe this because students deserve to have a 3-day weekend. 4 day weekends would benefit both the teachers and the students because it would be less work to grade and less work to do. 4 days would be the perfect amount of days to learn, and 3 days is the perfect amount of days to relax at home. Around 75% of students are unhappy in school according to Yale, so having 3 days of relaxation would be extremely helpful for mental health.
The suggestion of the school days being a four-day week instead of five I would agree.The reason I say this is because we all know school
every week is already exhausting, but making it four days can calm us down a little bit. Teachers on the other hand are already tired from the work and
mostly the students, making it four days can give the teachers a break from the students.
I agree with this idea because I’m tired of going to school half awake and it’s way too much stress and a lot of work. I don’t really get anything other than work for coming to school and having to wake up that early for 5 days straight is extremely tiring.
yes because I’m tired of going to school for 5! days and only getting a 2 day weekend. Like at least give us a 3 day weekend so I could rest good and actually pay attention in school cause. I am tired of waking up at 6:30 every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, And Friday so I agree with 4 days of school.
A 5-day school week is better than a 4-day school week because it helps students stay on track with their learning. Having five days gives more time to learn new things. Plus, a regular schedule can help students build better study habits and prepare them for the future.
Yes I agree because some students have to do things on Fridays such as cleaning or go shopping for groceries. Another reason why I agree with this is because some people need it to relax and 3 days to relax is much better than 2 days. How this might affect teachers are they get to have 1 more day to get the grades ready and if they finish they get to have an extra day off. How this will affect students is by making them help their parents out by cleaning or by helping the house around.
I agree with this because if you gave yours students a four day week that means they are going to get a 3 day off a week letting them spend more time with their families which affects them and letting them do less work from school also teachers don’t need to do nothing on Friday with the students because they get out on Thursday letting the teachers getting the work ready for the students that why i agree with making the week 4 days.
