[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]4 day school days do not help kids.

Most kids will not utilize the extra day for anything productive. They will not be using it to enrich themselves. They will do what a normal kid does, goof around. There is nothing wrong with that. That’s what I would do if I was a kid.  It’s normal.

4 day school days are happening because adults screwed up and there is no money.  No one wants to be teachers because the pay sucks. This is a way to entice more teachers. This does not help kids. Studies have shown kids with 4 days weeks do not do as well in math and reading. Period! [/quote]
Kids don’t need to always be productive. They need to rest and play[/quote]

Going to a crowded, loud childcare program doesn't make for a restful day.[/quote]
It does allow for play. Our extended day program has a quiet room for reading/homework. I’m sure many programs could adopt that[/quote]

But you gotta pay for it. Once kids get to 8 years old, they can stay home by themselves. Many Parents will not be paying for daycare. Kids will be home watching YouTube. Period. Not doing anything productive. Period.

Why are we even discussing this?  It will never happen in DMV. Only in poor red states where they choose politics over kids and mismanage their budgets. [/quote]
