Have you ever got to the end two-day weekend and thought it was too short? Well, that’s why students need three-day weekends and 4-day school weeks. Three-day weekends can give you more time to spend with your friends and family.
According to Chapman High School’s website, three-day weekends will lead to more energy, focus, and sleep. The extra day off from school gives our brains more time to cool down and recover from the school week. You can also use three-day weekends to do additional work you have like, homework, chores, or other projects. Another option is to spend time playing outside, relaxing, or playing video games.
If you’re not a homebody, you can use the extra time for adventures to go to places like the park, the mall, or somewhere else. Another reason students should have three-day weekends is because we all like the weekend; but, it just goes way too fast. So, if we had three-day weekends, it would feel like the weekend is longer.
Three-day weekends would be helpful if students have after school activities or other things such as appointments. This time could be used for sports, clubs, or hobbies, as well as doctor, dentist, or other wellness appointments. In this case, three-day weekends can help students stay healthy and active.
I know what you’re thinking: three-day weekends mean four-day school weeks. What does that really mean though? Four-Day school weeks mean less wasted time, more organization, and less stress.
Schoolwork will get done faster, because students would not be able to push work to a later day. Also, people would waste less time and focus more on completing projects before the weekend. Students would learn to be more organized and responsible for their time. They would also learn how to work smarter not harder. Once the students become used to a shorter week, they will have less stress knowing that they are more organized and efficient.
Most importantly, three-day weekends and four-day school weeks would teach everyone the value of work-life balance. In 2023, technology is making it hard to know when to stop working and start family time. So, tell me, who is interested in keeping themselves healthy, happy, and well balanced? Three-day weekends and four-day school weeks are for you.
