Change the School Week in NZ to 4 days


Change the School Week in NZ to 4 days
The issue
Here in NZ our school system is draining and at some schools mountain loads of homework is given out daily. This has an extremely heavy impact on the mental and emotional health of our tamāriki in Aotearoa. So having 4 school/work days would change everybody’s life for the better.
If things change then our children will be happier and everyone’s dopamine levels will increase. Therefore leading NZ’s teen sewerslide rates to drop. We need this NZ, we deserve this majorly.
With all of the extracurricular activities and tutoring, when it comes to the weekend you barely have anytime to have a genuine break. Do you want your kids to be on the edge of a mental/academic burnout? No, didn’t think so.
COME ON AOTEAROA! LETS GET THOSE 3 DAY WEEKENDS!
