I find it to be appalling to even think that school can even consider shorting the school week from five days to four just to save money. The reason I find this appalling is because we have so many other way to trim from, such as afterschool programs and less secretary, but to take away from our children education is just a trouble thing to do. What I also found to inexcusable is the comment that the mother who said that she would love to have those long weeks for more family time. If she can’t even fit family time during the week what makes her think that she can fit it on an extra day off from school. And to be realistic who really would take advantage of all those four day weekends all the time ….
