Shortened school weeks

Shortened school weeks can cause headaches, because they aren't always beneficial for students.

There are a few reasons why shortened school weeks aren't beneficial. Let me tell you some:

• It can cause meal problems

Transportation problems

Shortened school weeks can cause transportation problems to parents who work all day, and can't look after their young kid on the extra day off. Just because we get an extra day off doesn't mean that our parents do.

Financial problems

Another reason why shortened school weeks can cause problems is related to money. Sure, schools are saving money from the extra day off, but what about the parents who have to put their kids in childcare on the extra money? They aren't spending less because of the day off.

Meal problems

The last reason I have for school weeks being not beneficial is that the kids who rely on the free school lunches won't be able to eat for a day if there is a school day.

I know that it might seem weird for a kid to like school, but I really like school because I get to see my friends here, and some things we do in class are fun.

Thank you for watching!!
