内蒙古包头市2019年中考英语试卷(含听力音频)
Many of us wish we would have longer weekend, but for about 18,000 students in Colorado, that wish is coming true. A school district outside Denver has decided to shorten its week to four days—from Tuesday to Friday, and the first school year on this new timetable just started, CBS Denver reports. It began on Tuesday, August 14, because the day students get off is everyone's least favorite: Monday.
Although this may sound like a dream come true, it means students will have to sit though longer school days to work more for the hours they've lost, according to The Denver Post. So the timetable seems more crowded than ever.
The decision wasn't made just to give students more days off, though it had practical purpose. The district says that it will save $ 1 million by not having buses on Mondays and spending less on things like electricity and water. That means a lot to the school. However, there are different voice. Parents may pick up some the cost of this change, though, since many will now need to stay home with their kids. If they go to work, they have to find people to take care of their children.
This isn't the first district in the state to introduce a four—day week:55 % of the state's schools do this, but most of them are in the countryside, according to The Denver Post. Several school in Oklahoma made the some move earlier this year, and some them told CBS News Reports that more teachers wanted to teach there after the change. Most of these teachers have a lot of teaching experience. About 560 districts in timetable influence students' performance.
