Most students dream is to have shorter school weeks, but in 2023 dreams become reality with many districts switching to a four-day school week. While most students might be happy about this change not all sides to this story come out sunny side up. Though Georgia is not making the change as of right now, many other states are.
After the events with the Coronavirus in 2020 most schools switched to a four-day school week, some such as Hillgrove switched back once we were all back in person though not all schools did this. One big thing that student Lily Osborn an 10th grader believes is holding us back is our administration, explaining “I feel like admin be kind of stressed out cause they're trying to manage all these students and having them switches from a five-day school week to a four-day week would be hard for them.” Though not all students believe this is the case with some such as Lincoln Nado, a Freshmen at Hillgrove high school, thinks “because it would affect their schedules and maybe their parents wouldn’t want to leave them at home alone.” Though all these are vailed Mary Clair Vick a new student at Hillgrove might have found a way to make it work “maybe like not being at school every day for seven hours like a half day.” But this might affect more than just adults with Lily Osborn making clear an issue we would have to face, “Cause a lot of people practice on Monday and it’s just a has hold trying to get to school with rides and stuff.”
Four days school weeks might not be the norm when walking around the Cobb County School District now, however it is happening in more and will eventually become the norm. We now have enough information to consider it completely to move forward in the education system. To learn we still have a couple things we need to work out but maybe one day we will figure out a way to make a four-day school week permanent around Hillgrove High School.
