Improved Essays
Imagine you had three days off every weekend. It would honestly be one of the best decisions the county or state would ever do. Nobody likes to go to school for five days. It doesn’t allow you to do anything fun over the weekend. This would allow so much that the schools could do. Schools should resort to four day weeks.
If we had three days off, students would be allowed to get more sleep. Sleep allows people to work more diligently. Grades would improve greatly. Student would also be more excited to go to school. Getting less sleep makes people more depressed. Not just the students but the teachers would be able to get more sleep. This would allow everyone in the classroom to get more stuff done. Schools would also save money from

    Condensed School Weeks Currently, there are discussions in many school boards about making a switch from a five day week to a four days. There are several pros and cons relating to the subject that have been looked over by researchers focusing on the switch. Overall, the switch to a four day school week is more beneficial for students, teachers, and school faculty members. It allows for more time in the week to learn in one subject class per day, makes school less of a stress for students, and will increase student attendance and decrease the amount of high school dropouts.…

    There are many school rules that should be changed but one of the school rules that stands out the most is the semester test absences. It really doesn't make sense that students have to take all the semester test just because they missed one day without an excuse. One reason why the one unexcused day rule should be changed is because sometimes students get sick and they have to stay at home and recover. I don't think that this is not far. Some students it might take more then one day to recover.…

    According to the article, "Focus on the School Calendar: The Four-Day School Week" states "State Departments of Education staff says that students do no worse than students on a traditional calendar" which proves that students who have a shorter school week do about the same as students with a longer week (Gaines). The over all results of having a four day week or a five day week are not really any different. In the article, "Top 7 Pros And Cons Of 4 Day School Weeks" research says "attendance of students enrolled in schools that have a four day week shows that attendance is improved as a result" which proves that students come to school most days because they are already getting an extra day to relax and do what they want over the weekend ("Top 7"). Most students do not want to miss school because of the make up work they would have to do from a longer school day. Some students enjoy learning and a longer school day would be beneficial to them overall.…

Teachers would benefit, because if their students don’t get enough sleep they won’t listen well. They will fall asleep, and they won’t get any work done. So if they don’t pay attention student’s won’t know how you do the work that is given .…

    The only more stressful time than a five test Friday is finals week. During finals week, students spend several hours studying many different subjects. After all that hard work all they get is a short four day weekend to recover from four days of challenging exams. It would be much more beneficial for students to have a long break after the exams to allow students recover. Teachers would also be given more time to grade these exams and other projects the students completed.…
