[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because attendance would tank if they did Monday or Friday.[/quote]

Respectfully who cares? They aren’t doing anything those days. They still have to have lunch and recess which together with transition time, takes up close to an hour. Of a day that is already basically a half day anyway. [/quote]

Beacuse attendance is now a part of the certification metrics and they want kids in the building for those half days. If you place them on a Monday or a Friday, families take long weekends. If you place them on a Wednesdays [b]parents gripe but send their kids to school[/b]. [/quote]

I would need to see data on this. Anecdotally, my neighbors who take off from work for these days don’t find it worthwhile out of bed the morning routine (one of the more stressful parts of the day) for kids to be in school doing nothing for two hours. Do you have data suggesting Wednesday attendance on early release days is the same as regular days?[/quote]
