How do you feel about 4 days week for school kids,

cwaaaaaappppp that means one more day with kiddies running around usuing me for target practice with there bikes noooooooo.... tbh im not in school so idk seems fine too me not like there learning anything while theyre there anyways
 
I home school and we do 4 day weeks. Wednesday is our off day, but we go to the 2 libraries in town. One is a city and the other is county. This has worked for us since I started home schooling the kids years ago. They use Wednesday to read and if they need help with something, then we can go over things to help them better understand it.

Now, I realize this is different than for public/mainstream schools. IT seems to me, that if the kids are given some expectation for that day off, they could use it wisely and still not fall behind in class. I also know, that for some families, childcare might be an issue, but then again, the article did say it was mostly in rural farming communities. There is always work to be done and maybe childcare is not an issue. Either way, the kids need to have some sort of expectations that need to be met each Friday that they do not have class.
 
i agree with homeschooling more than state and gov funded school edjumacationoning mostly because it screams disaster
 
My son who is now in Cegep (french school system - Cegep is like grade 12 and 13), he has Mondays off from school and he really appreciates it especially because his homework load is much heavier.
 
I'm not a big fan of it simply because education is substandard in most cases as it is. Less time means even more so.

Now if those 4 days were used in a way to elevate the education most kids are receiving then I could be persuaded to change my mind.
