Long Response:


Read the story on page SC1 "Why more school districts are holding class...."

Many schools in Colorado are taking one day of the week in school so that this can allow students a break and to attract teachers to the district and save money. This is a lot more popular because the parents and teachers like it to. This can put less stress on kids, and allow them to not only focus on homework on the weekends but also be able to hang out with friends.While this sounds great, it does have some disadvantages. With kids going to less school it could lead to more crime in juveniles. I think that the four day week isn't such a good idea. The reason is that they are just going to give you the same about of work with less time. If they want to make it less stressful for kids, then they should just give us less work, but in my opinion, they are only doing this for the money.
