[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's completely about money and trying to keep good teachers.  There is a district kind of near where I live that started 4 day weeks this year. Totally about teacher morale and trying to keep them.

My kid is in private and goes 4 1/2 days each week.  They have early release (2 hrs early) each Friday.  When they are in school they are learning 99% of the time.  There are also no random teacher workdays or one off religious holidays.  They do all their training and meetings Friday afternoons.   I didn't like it at first but now really like it.  Gives us an early start on the weekend without losing any of the learning.  There is no way this would fly in a public school.

The Nova public schools had half days once a week not long and.  Getting rid of it caused big problems for the teachers that have never been addressed properly.

Reinstating it would be great.  But a short day once a week for elementary school is very different than a 4 day school week.

If you can't see this, then I don't know what to tell you.[/quote]

Yes, but it was Monday afternoons. Friday afternoons would have been *so* much better. It’s between weeks, rather than between days 1 and 2. In addition, kids leaving early for trips would have been less disruptive, meetings would have been more relaxed, and you’d have time to really get the room ready for the following week. [/quote]
