[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In MCPS high schools that run seven 47 minute periods, we could increase each class period (making each class 60 minutes per day), keep passing time and lunch the same, and have the same number of minutes of instruction in four days as five.  This would be a tremendous cost saving measure for MCPS. I think it would be really beneficial for high school students, who could use the fifth day for all kinds of enrichment, even more sports practice if people are worried about the lengthened day cutting into after school activities.  I'm not sure how well it would work for elementary and middle school students, but it would certainly be worth looking into.  Obviously the 180 day requirement would have to be changed, but the annual hourly instructional requirement could remain the same.[/quote]

It's hard to quantify how dumb an idea this is.  But if I had to, I'd say it was just slightly more idiotic than using hydrogen instead of Helium in the Hindenburg.  [/quote]
