- Why Schools should implement 4-day weeks
Abstract
This paper will explain how the benefits of a four-day week schedule for school districts will allow them to better educate students.

The money that would be saved by schools implementing the four-day week would accomplish those tasks.
Schools are shutting down, teachers are being laid off, and class sizes are growing to accommodate the st...
