Hundreds of school districts across the nation are starting four-day school schedules this fall. Now, parents in Central Illinois are wondering if the state will follow suit. While more than 900 school districts in 25 states are going full force on the new method, Rantoul teacher Tonia Kirby said Illinois should pump the brakes. “We already have so many kids that don’t have structure at home, I think that day would be a detriment,” Kirby said.
If executed competently and with available optional daycare, it seems like it could work. Of course it should only be done if the unions demand it, because otherwise they’ll seek extra pay for it.

This is covid Lite. In many countries kids go to school 6 days per week. Our kids future is a Chinese boss or worse.

Guv Pigchop is your boss not the Chinese. He wears a man girdle to keep his massive gut under control!
Hasta la vista, for repeated, obvious violations of standards any site maintains.
You just love censorship. That’s your only standard.

Guv Pigchop hates Illinois and doesn’t care about the number of days kids are in school. He wears a man girdle to keep his massive gut under control!
