More Schools Switching To 4 Day Week

More schools around the country are cutting costs by cutting class. A school district in Denver is switching to a 4 day school week. School leaders say, it’ll mean fewer snow days, help recruit better teachers and save a lot of money. Parents also say, this means their kids will be happier and have more free time.

Here are the cons. Some parents say this means kids will have longer days at school and others need to figure out how to pay for an extra four days of child care. You also run into problems like after school activities with other school districts who are on a five day schedule.

Do the pros outweigh the cons?
