Our 5 day school week was designed over 150 years ago for farming and factory life, it’s completely outdated and doesn’t fit how we live or learn in 2026. Having 4 days in and 4 days off will allow students to have a break or catch up on school work if needed in between school days, currently school students are put under a lot of pressure from being in school 5 days a week and only having 2 days off. In these 2 days schools expect them to do homework and such in their own time.
