Why I Think We Should Have A Four Day School Week

Patience H —

Why I would rather have a four day week of school than the normal 5 day week of school is because you can spend more time with your friends and family.

Also you could do cool and fun activities with whanau. Please don’t forget about the extra time for celebrations!

I am certain that we should have a three day weekend, a three day weekend would mean you have more time for loved ones or your friends? With a traditional 5 day school week there are times that you want to catch up with your friends but you can’t because you are at school or your friend’s parents are busy trying to cram everything into their weekend! Wouldn’t it be better that everyone had a three day weekend to do things in a relaxing way?

About the fun activities, if you had a three day weekend you would have way more time to go to play at the park, paint, and do a lot more things that your passionate about.

Also I believe you could have more time to get ready for parties and more time to celebrate them. I have a feeling that we might not celebrate enough occasions because of our busy lives, this would change if we had a four day school week.

I consider an extra day added to the weekend,

we all would have more time to do things, that is surely why I think we should have a four day week with a three day weekend, instead of a five day school week.
