Long Response:

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

1. Summarize the story in a paragraph.

This story is about the boom of cutting the school week short. This was something common in the farmland because the nearest grocery store was 20 miles away. Meaning that it was hard for schools to find staff members. It explains how instead of having a 5 day week, they let the children and teachers have Fridays off. This allows teachers to have an extra day for planning and for children to have a more educated block of learning. This is becoming common in other areas as well because of the efficiency of learning.and it can save schools 5%. However, because of the extra day off, crime is more common and low income families need to find daycare and they won't have the luxury of free meals. 
2. What are some of the advantages to four day weeks, according to the article?

Some of the advantages of the four day weeks are that teachers have more time to plan. Another advantage is that it can save schools 5%.  It also allows for students to have a more educated learning. 
3. What are some of the disadvantages to a four day week, according to the article?

A disadvantage is that because of giving kids an extra day off, teenage crime is at a higher rate. Also, low income families need to find a daycare for their children and they don't have the luxury of the free meals. 
4. Would you be in favor of only going to school four days a week? Why?

I would love to one go to school for four days a week. This is because I don't like school and it would make my weekends longer. 
5. What kind of changes would you make in your life if you only had to go to school four days a week?

I would do more homework on the weekends with my extra time and I would do more activities. 
6. What do you think your parents would say about a four day week?

I think that my mom would be extremely happy that I would get an extra day off. However, she would be jealous because that wasn't a thing when she was in school. 
7. How would you deal with longer class days, for example, schools on a four day schedule often begin at 7 am and end 5 pm.?

I would make sure I go to bed very early to deal with having to get up much earlier. I would also drink a lot of coffee.
