hi

Hi everybody! Todays the big day!

My opinion

I think that students should not have only 4 days of school because regardless of them going to school longer, it takes's away valuable learningtime. As for buying less nutrishous lunches, I think they should and they shouldnt buy less nutrishous lunches. This is because if the kids want health lunches then they would just bring their own because realy it isnt the schools fault to give healthy lunches. I think they shouldnt because at the same time kids deserve a lunch that can keep them going doing the day.

school rising money

the schools gets pay more when they are selling items and saving up to buy better food and a better school.elementry has 70 percent of buying a better life to save up.

school battle rising gas and food prices

earlier in summer the gasoline fuel was 4$ a gallon and 1800 students made 145,000 on fuel,food,and substitude teachers. they make money just make gas go higher and food on prices.

We should have a 4 day week

I think that we should have a 4 day week becasue then the kids could get their homework done and be able to serve detention on the extra day and it could also be used as a work makeup day if you missed any days. Pollution is increasing also because of all of the bus fuel and car fuel driving the kids to school so much but if one day was taken out of the it would probably help out alot and plus fuel is getting very expensive in some place that the budgets are running low to keep the buses operating.

No to 4 days.

4 day week = ridiculous. Why? Having a 4 day week equals longer days, longer days equals that the student will burn out and not pay attention faster so when friday, saturday and sunday come, in stead of focusing on homework, they will be asleep. Exausted after an excrutiatingly long day.

i would like to have a 4 day school week but i wouldnt want the day to be longer. i dont think that i could stay at school longer than we do now. if we had a 4 day week i think that stidents would not hate school as much only if we didnt have to stay at school longer. if we did have a 4 day school week then that would just give the students a extra day to run around the streets but they would also have more time to do homework. over all a would like having a 4 day school week.

Are we going to do anything?

Is the public ever going to stand up and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! The top pepopl need to quit making such a HUGE profit off of the working class! Who can afford food prices, gas, or anything, now your saying kids don't need an education, and the schools can't afford to feed or bus them! Where the heck are our tax payer dollars going? Less street construction, more education! Less raises for government figures, more education! Less police force focusing on DUMB things, more education!!!!!!!!
