[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister used to teach for a school district that decided not to open schools on Fridays to save money running the buildings and on school buses. The students stayed an extra hour each day for the other 4 days. Morale soared and the district saw the fewest departures from employees on record. No drop in academic success. My sister was a SPED teacher and yes, she was paid a bit more than General Ed. Not enough to make anyone switch careers. Work-life balance, people.[/quote] Morale soared for the teachers, but not the working parents who suddenly needed to spend thousands of dollars a year on child care on Fridays. How much support would there be for public schools if you tried that here?[/quote] Its called parenting, so yes, they need to work it out.[/quote]
