Recommended: Pros and cons to five day school weeks
There is a lot of talk about a 4 day school week and a 5 day school week in our school district. People also have very good arguments for or against the system that they like or don’t like. In my opinion the 5 day school week would aid of time in school a lot more. I would like if we went back to a 5 day school week. This would be a good idea for many reasons. The first reason is that the school days and class periods would be shorter. There is also less hand on learning. With less school days in the year, the school has less time for tests and book learning; so they all cram it into the days that we have and get rid of hands on projects. Also in a 5 day school week the teachers would get paid more(paid by the hour). The teachers and students
would spend more time in school which means that the teachers would get paid more and the student would get more education in their lives. To add to that the students would get in trouble less. On Fridays we would be in school more. This means that the adolescents getting in trouble on Fridays would be in school which would take that opportunity away. Finally, with a 5 day school week the summer would be way longer. With the 4 day school we still have to get the right amount of school hours in. To solve this problem the school extended the school year into the summer. The 5 day school week. Some people think that the 4 day week would be the way to go but I will prove you wrong. Well we get off Friday you say; it turns out that all those missing friday's all add up into the summer break. Also adding to that with the missing Fridays, we have to make the class periods which makes the day longer. Like I said before with the Friday off there is more opportunity for kids to get in trouble with the community. The school will save more money with less days. Yes, this is true but, with less days we will also get less education. People say that there is better attendance; I doubt this, in our school there are kids taking advantage of the 4 day school week. To conclude I think our school should go back to the 4 day school week for the reasons above. 5 day school weeks will bring our school and students an advantage in the long run and in life.
