Ah, doesn’t sleeping in on a Friday sound delightful? Well a four-day school week would allow that to happen.
Students can get the best learning experience, teachers can teach to their full potential, and longer school days allow extra time for extended activities.
Nobody would want to have students not succeed in school by having their brains crammed with academic information when their barely awake in their classes would they?
Some students don’t learn as fast, so by changing the schedule, they can wipe of the thought of not being good enough of their mind.

Obviously some administrators would worry about with a four day school week is the amount getting paid to workers in the schools, and the budget cuts to classes.
Lunch workers, janitors, and etc. would not be getting paid as much when students aren’t in the school right?
On the contrary, because the teachers would still need to come in on Friday to go over lesson plans, discuss ideas with other teachers, and more.
Those hourly workers would still be employed on that day, because classrooms might become dirty and the teachers would be hungry, so they would still be working for the same amount of time, and their wages wouldn’t be cut.
From the school’s electricity not being on for a longer amount of time and utilities not being used as long, it would actually save the school money.
Savings would go up by one to two percent, which doesn’t sound like a lot, but it can actually go towards many things, like classroom funds, money for students who can’t afford to eat, programs such as art and singing.
Therefore, lunch workers and janitors would be getting paid the same amount with a four-day school week, and cost would not be cut
