irene south dakota on empower3000

This article was about how because of budget cuts that has caused them these schools to make drastic changes to the schooling and the school week. This school in South Dakota is making their school week one day shorter they are making their school week a day shorter. They are extending the mount of time that the kids spend in the classrooms during the day that they will be in school. They added 30 minuets and they made their lunchtime and gym time shorter to make more time fir learning. Many people did not agree people said that they kids will suffer because they are missing a whole school day. But all of the schools that have done this have not had any differences in their grades they have not visibly been affected. Khadidrah Simmons says" I would just rather have the extra day cause that is a lot to be added on for one day of no school. I would not want for this school to adopt that." I in agree with khadidrah she is right. In the end we have the same amount of hours in school. It’s just that now its being piled on the other days and it is making the normal school day different and abnormal. It is sad that they have to go to school so much also I do think that if you take a whole day out of the school week you will learn less. Especially the kids who are not in high school they learn bye repetition and they need every chance they can have it. This change will also be bad for teens they will have a whole day every week were they will be home alone and their parents will be at work and the day it is the day before the weekend they might do crazy stuff because they aren’t in school.
