The same idea was once on the national agenda regarding the 5-day working week, and someone (can't remember who, exactly - been told this joke some time ago) suggested doing it gradually. First we work one day a week, then two, three - etc., till we reach the five-day week. This idea can be fully applicable to the 5-day school week: first the kids start studying (and I mean, *studying!* Learning!) one day a week, then two, etc. The question is, who will bell the cat... 2. Given the amount of say we have on the 5-day school week issue whatsoever (at least I cannot remember anyone from the Ministry calling to ask *me* what I think of it), I suggest having a poll instead on things we can *really* change: e.g., whether there should be sunrise 7 times a week, or fewer (less, as some of us would say - probably just for brevity). After all, we need something to get a feeling of relevance and belonging, of participating and making the difference.
