Who is “we”?

Those days were gifts from God when my kids were in early elementary school. I got the day off and the kids went to school. 
Even more important for parents who have to work those days.

We like the 4 day weeks. They help tremendously for our high schoolers and middle school kid.[/quote]

What has changed about middle and high schoolers that they can't handle 5 day weeks anymore? They sure seem to need a lot of breaks. The teens and twenties are the time to work really hard when you have the energy. If you play your cards right, by your thirties you can have choices that give you flexibility and freedom that have been earned. [/quote]

It’s a well known fact that adolescents need more sleep. The 7:30 am start time is brutal for the middle schoolers. Any extra chance to sleep in is a blessing. High schoolers start a bit later, but the work load with honors and AP classes is staggering. With after school activities and what not, the time these kids get to start on their homework is late, which makes them have to stay up and be tired and the cycle continues. High schoolers get a ton of work and it’s hard.

Elementary school work is a joke. Do you have a middle schooler or a high schooler? When you go, get back to me. The random days off are a lifesaver.[/quote]
