4 DAY SCHOOL DAY , DOES IT MEAN MORE?

In Irene-Wakonda School District they started a 4 day school day to save money.The school district took this schools budget away by 6.6 percent and now they had to fire teacher cancel most after school activities and cancel extracurricular activities. Now most of the schools parents did not like the money and school changes but they were so mad about their children  missing a day of school which lessens there children's progress.but the schools say they plan on teaching more in one day than they could teach in two. Most children feel as though things they like about their school are being taken away because the school district doesn't know how to monitor and use their money wisely. Even though their are a few student who think the one less day is a progression of the school to show that with one day taken away they can learn more than any other school in their district. But now many schools are getting on the band wagon . They are trying to see now if they can get higher test scores in less amount of time than schools who have the full five days of school.

But in my opinion the school who are trying this are damaging our minds  because its bad enough we don't learn everything in the week we have and now we have to learn more in the amount of four days its just not going to work and it gets even more frustrated because now here comes the problem with money make it and stop trying to spend it on new technology and get us new books better teachers and utensils for us to use in the day, and for the activities that keep us out of the street then taking them away and we have kids doing the more stupidest things known to men. This is a outrage.
