I think that school should be from 9am-3pm. Children would be better rested and be able to retain more knowlege.

I think that we need to start thinking of ways to save money without good teachers losing their jobs. If going to a 4 day school week does that I am all for it. It is time we take every consideration possible to save all the money we can for education. The thing you hear all the time is the day care for the children if this was to take place, but how many does this impact? I think that has to be looked into. How many older siblings are there in those families that can watch the younger children or other means.

Yes, as should colleges and many business. A longer day would be needed, but savings and benifits for all would be substanial. We do need proper planning and implementation.
