Current Events Quiz #6.2
Short Answer:
1. 300
2. He wanted to spend more time with his family and he felt sidelined by his boss
3. Club stacking isn't an ethical practice although it's legal, which is when candidates fill political clubs with their supporters to win endorsements. Sometimes these people will even pay membership dues for their supporters.
4. Bars and restaurants
5. Estimated $250 million, and no, I haven't seen it
Long Response:
1. The story was about how some schools in more rural areas were switching to a four-day week instead of a five-day week like normal. This idea isn't actually that new, some Colorado districts have been doing this for decades. But what's really catching people's attention is that this idea is spreading to larger districts and affecting more people.
2. Some advantages such as teens can work on Fridays, students have a longer weekend, teachers get a better pay, and there's less strain on the students being stressed from five days of school, have boosted the popularity of this new idea. Teachers aren't paid very much and there have been protests lately about their wages, so they should like this new plan, they'd get paid the same and work one less day each weak, ideally.
3. Some disadvantages include childcare costs, low-income families struggle to feed their kids when they can't get a school lunch, and crime rates have risen on the days kids aren't in school. These are pretty serious disadvantages that questions whether this new plan would even be worth it.
4. I wouldn't be in favor of this new plan. It would include me waking up early, and I think the time I wake up now for a five-day school week is too early. When I don't get enough sleep, it's harder for me to pay attention and work hard. These skills would be extra important since there would be a lot of cramming in those four days, which I don't think is a good idea. The students would be more stressed in those fewer days because they have to cram an extra day of school into those days.
5. I would have to go to bed earlier for sure, which I already do. For some reason, my body requires more sleep than normal, so I'd have to go to bed earlier, which gives me less time to do homework. I would have to give up some free time to do homework, because I'm sure that this schedule would include more homework since students would have to cram.
6. I think my mom wouldn't like the four-day week. My mom doesn't like it when my brother and I are at home by ourselves for very long, and with this plan we'd have to stay home alone all day since she has to work. My dad probably would like it since he could spend more time with us over the longer weekend.
7. Like I said before, I would have to get more sleep to handle waking up before 7 am. If I'd still go to Bowie for the four-day week, I'd have to wake up at about 5:30 because I wake up at 7:30 now when school starts at 9. I don't know if I'd be able to handle those long class days because I think school days are long enough already. I wouldn't have much time for homework since I would go to bed early, so I would have to sacrifice more of my free time over the weekend, so Friday wouldn't really be a break anyway.
