The current five-day work week is not only exhausting for adults, but also for our children who are subjected to the same schedule through school. This petition proposes a three-day weekend, without affecting summer-break hours or creating longer school days. Studies have shown that shorter weeks can lead to happier, healthier and more productive students (American Psychological Association). In countries like Finland where they have shorter school days and weeks, students consistently outperform their global peers (OECD). By implementing this change in Boca Raton, FL, we can improve the quality of life for our children and set an example for other cities across the nation. Please support this cause by signing this petition.
