[etni] Re: 5-day School Week

Dear Ellen,

I objected to the 5 day week thing when we were told it was going to begin
this year (in fact, I thought all of the rural ed. schools were going over
to that system... how did you get out of it this year?) It worked out that I
got used to it VERY quickly!  I LOVE my weekends!  I find it no less
efficient than having the preparation day in the middle of the week, and I
can even pamper myself with a weekend away (Thursday afternoon - Saturday
evening) if I wish (not that I have done yet ... but just knowing I can do
it is comforting)!  If people study, they teach 4 days.  I have not heard
anyone in my school complain!

I hope you find this encouraging!

Adele

Our school has already announced that there will be no school anymore on
Friday, and therefore all the "free days" of teachers will be Friday next
year.
