re: Acadia Parish to move to 4 day school week

5th Ward (Morse, Estherwood, Mermentau, Midand) have been utilizing this for approximately 20 years. I grew up basically my entire life on a 4 day week. It worked wonderful. Little longer days, yes but Fridays were used as remedial days to help kids struggling in certain areas. It also worked as a “detention” type setting of kids misbehaved throughout the week. Our scores were always some of the best in the state as well. I also find it silly for the school board members who voted to go against Fridays off and changed it to Mondays when majority of parents/teachers voted for Fridays

And I'm sure the schedule has way more to do with those scores than the demographics.
Better teachers have been leaving other parts of the parish and other parish to go to schools with 4 day week
The Demos of that part of the parish is more white than the towns in the parish but similar to other rural parts. its definitely not an affluent area either

School is not your babysitter

Our whole society is centered on Monday through Friday. You can't just up and decide to change that on a whim.

Should just make it a 0 day school week and send them straight to the crawfish ponds
Is it bad that I laughed at this?

I don't know what YOU did in high school - but one guaranteed day every week without any parental supervision?
Not that I would have gotten laid any more back then, but the effort was always there - and that's one less obstacle.

No, kids won't get into any trouble with an extra day off
Posted on 1/27/23 at 8:51 am to BayouBengal23
Daycares are about to make $$ on that one day a week.

I sure wasn't letting going to school getting in the way of getting laid
There has been no spike in teen pregnancy where they've been having 4 day weeks for 20 years

Well, that makes loads of sense.

Monday?

If they cared about the parents they would have gone to a two week on / two week off schedule.

They didn't change it on a whim. There has been a push for years
Also they have to go 5 days a week for 6 weeks at the beginning so they can end school in May and the kids don't do any better during those 6 weeks

You just can't model Estherwood and Mermentau to Crowley and Rayne. The first two schools have 38 kids combined. The rest of the parish is a little different.

I guarantee you it's going to happen. I work in the hospital here. The amount of teens that came in pregnant after covid was crazy. Parents will leave their 14yr Olds home alone. Guess what's going to happen? Freaking like crazy.

Wait, what? What does this have to do with teen pregnancy?
