[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, love the non-5 day weeks. They are great. Summer is such a pain to plan, and we (and most of our friends) much prefer a day here and there, rather than additional weeks in the summer. [/quote]

I agree! We love the 4 day weeks! It really helps with the sleep for middle and high schoolers.[/quote]

Time to be a parent.  The entire school system doesn't operate around the needs of your special child. [/quote]

And it doesn’t operate around your need for a 5 day week. As long as the kids get in the required hours of instructional time I do not care. I prefer the 4 day weeks and so do a lot of parents and teachers. Your whining isn’t going to change that. Time to be a parent and deal with it.[/quote]

You are absolutely ridiculous and rude. Go away. Be a parent. 4 day school weeks are a terrible idea for many reasons. No one cares that your kids need sleep.[/quote]
Look at next year’s calendar because that is the one that’s at stake. It is a decent distribution of 4 and 5 day weeks with very few 2 or 3 day weeks. By pushing the argument of 5 days or bust, we would be shifting a few 4 day weeks into 3 and 5 day weeks. Canceling holidays is a pipe dream. Meren’s statement is only to prioritize 5 day weeks. So it’ll be a balance of creating worse incomplete weeks to squeeze out a 5 day week.

Personally, I’d prefer 4 day weekends to be spread across Fri-Mon as those days are easier to schedule around than a Tues or Thurs. Having 4 consecutive days of school is also better than having a week with 3 days for my child’s routine.[/quote]
