The Four Day School Week (Or When Thursday Becomes The New Friday)
I sure hope ignorance is bliss, because the awareness that comes from
being educated creates nothing but pain when confronted on a daily
basis with the short-sighted thinking that is rapidly sending this
country up a certain creek without a paddle. The latest panacea for
fixing education -- in what more and more seems akin to the way one
fixes a dog -- is to have a 4 day school week to balance the budget of
many school districts throughout the country. As yet this hasn't been
proposed by Superintendent Cortines at LAUSD, but it is early yet and
the $640 million shortfall this year is only a harbinger of the cuts
already being proposed for the next two years.
