Research states that 4 days a week of school is beneficial to students and teachers. In Europe researchers studied students learning ability and mental health. Does shortening the week impact students performance? Studies show that students performance did not decrease, in fact students learning was increased and their mindset was more open. Students start to lose focus by the end of the week. Attendance will improve because teachers and students will have a day of the week to schedule appointments. Elementary and Middle school students may require more classroom time, but as a High Schooler we are learning to work and study on our own to prepare us for college.  Last year students did not dread going to school as much knowing there was only 4 days in person. Teachers got to have more time with their family’s. Fridays are good days for teachers to grade and just post an assignment for students to complete. Going online Fridays will give students and teachers a break. If we do online Fridays, students will put more effort in school over the week. Teachers will have a day to grade and get students assignments in skyward at a good time. Students achievement will improve because Fridays will be a good catch up day. Most students play sports during the weeks and barely have time to complete homework. If students had one day of the week just for homework their GPA would improve immaculately. Take away the late starts and give us online Fridays.
