[quote=Anonymous]As a teacher, I really appreciate half days, especially when we have two of them in a row. We have structured our schedule over the next two days to do classes that are 60 minutes long, so instruction is actually a bit longer than on a full day. Then in the afternoon, teachers benefit from being able to conduct conferences or complete other work, while students get a couple of extra hours to catch up or simply to relax. When we run one half day and classes are shortened, I simply use the time to structure a shorter, focused lesson. Half days provide a different structure, but are certainly not worthless. I like them much better than full days off that extend the school year unnecessarily.[/quote]
