No shot, it is already hard enough to work a 40 hr work week. No way it could be done with a 4 day school week.

Need to teach the kids how to make shoes year round. In a sweaty shop like environment. Itll teach them hard work while also making the school a lot of money. I dont see any issues with it.

How does that work for families where both parents work?

Would be difficult for parents who have to work 5 days a week.

Yea, yea, school isn't a babysitter and your correct but it's helpful when it's in session while most parents are working.

Smaller schools in Oklahoma having been doing it for several years.

I think it is horrible, personally. We're dumbing down both the education and expectation of our American youth. They're going to get their asses handed to them when competing globally.

20% less schooling sounds like a recipe for disaster

It’s awesome.

ETA: With the state of education as it is, why is 5 days better than 4? More of a bad thing makes it better? No. Complete insanity.

Not sure it really matters if parents enforce good learning habits then it works.

Korea has scaled back from 6 days to 5.

treat high schools like colleges, different set of classes each semester and you have to earn credit hours

The reality of it is for most families yes it is. We need to accept that fact and make the best of it
