  1. There are pros and cons to 4 and 5 days weeks.  I definitely understand the possible hardships that parents can face dealing with a 4 day week, but one does have to ask how they manage during summer, 2 weeks at Christmas, spring break, thanksgiving, and the various work days and school holidays throughout the year.  Our district has lost some good teachers to districts with 4 day weeks, and I would jump at the chance to try it.  Happier teachers are more effective teachers, and there’s always an increase in energy and morale around the school after a 3-day weekend.  It also saves the district money on transportation, food, electricity, water, etc.  I haven’t seen a lot of research on test scores, grades, etc, but my friends who work for 4-day districts haven’t seen any issues.
