[quote=Anonymous]I think it would be a true travesty of US ever had to go to 4 days school at scale.  It's a logical conclusion.  Parents work and kids not having a structured environment is the death of education right there.  It's one thing to have holidays and days off and another to do 4 days on a regular basis year over year.  Unless there was some routine activity focused on enrichment or activity of some type, that's a disaster awaiting for all of us.  I saw this as a very liberal mom who sees value in many types of education.  If a top athlete spent less time training than their competition, absolutely their performance suffers.  Unless they compensate for more time or something when they are training but I don't think a 4 day school week offers more for those days!

It's def last case scenario for many small town due to finances a sad commentary on the status of US in general.  Our infrastructure is crumbling and people who continue to say US is #1 are sadly mistaken.  Our country can't even provide a full week of structured learning in public school consistently throughout the country, not sure what we have to brag about in this country. [/quote]
