My friend's mom was telling us about how the bill isn't passed yet, but is in legislation that would add an hour to each school day but Friday, Saturday, and Sunday would be the weekend. Anyone know if this is true or BS?
This has been recent discussion in Indiana, but I highly doubt it will ever pass. Indiana school systems suck too bad and are ranked terrible in the nation for them to have less school. If anything, these morons that can't pass the ISTEPs should be in school 7 days a week.Originally posted by: bryce

You never know, the way most of the States' budgets are right now.
Oregon now has the shortest school year in the nation because of budget cuts and the fact that Measure 28 failed.
School now ends May 13th here(instead of June 10th), and Spring break is 2 weeks now, instead of one.
Woo! 4 months of summer.![]()

I kinda wish this had happened 10 years ago when I was in high school. I would have LOVED to get out in May instead of mid-June![]()

You should clarify that a bit, Eli. Only the Portland school district is on that schedule. The rest of the districts in Oregon are still working on their plans because of the 28 failure, although it's unlikely any of them will be nearly as severe as Portland.

My fiancee had a four day school week at her high school in Custer, South Dakota. Their classes started at 7:50 and ended at 3:45, instead of the typical 8:30/3:15. They found that they actually got more done in that time, scores went up, students were happier, and teachers didn't complain either. The only problem that they had was some parents didn't want to pay for extra child care on the extra day.
