Snow days, are they over? Snow days are soon going to be replaced with E-days. E-days are days that you have to stay home because of the harsh weather so instead of staying home and watching tv, you can learn from home. So with that said, I think that E-days are a good idea. This essay will explain to the reader that E-days are a good idea because they 1.help save money, 2. the program has worked and is liked, and 3. they help protect scheduled vacations on the calendars. First this paragraph will explain to the reader that E-days save money. One reason is because on regular school days the school has to pay for the school bus drivers and the gas that goes into the school bus. I know this is true because since no children get picked up, no gas on the busses will be running and the bus drivers wouldn’t need to be paid because they aren’t picking anyone up. Another reason that E-days save money is because the lights and electricity is on in the school. Some proof is that since no students or the staff is in the school, there is no point in keeping the generators, lights, or any electricity on. So E-days help save money. Second this essay will explain to the reader that the the E-day program has worked and is liked. One reason is because more than 500 schools in pennsylvania and 29 schools in Indiana have tried the …show more content…
Since students are not at school, the school doesn’t have to pay for any of the expenses plus, E-days help save our scheduled vacations. I think that my strongest reason is E-days protect scheduled vacations, I know this because they count as school days so there you don’t have to make up the day that you “ missed”. After reading this essay I hope that the reader will consider talking to the school board about E-days replacing snow
Today is 06-06-06… Ronald stumbled into the woods, and found a group of girls in which he discovered was a secret coven! The group of witches surrounded him and beleaguered Ronald for being a pity mortal. Their supreme showed up and asked the young little witches why they were being so berserk towards the guileless mortal and then berated them for giving their coven an atrocious name… panic-stricken, Ronald bolted through the woods and couldn’t seem to find a way out. The supreme found Ronald, and told him to remain mild.
Winter is a beautiful time of year. Snow covered walkways, roads, and roofs all paint a cozy scene. Unfortunately, snow is heavy and that can be very troublesome for your roof. Luckily, with a little elbow grease and the right tools, you can easily remove the snow yourself. So what type of tools should you be using to eliminate excess snow on your roof?
Since at least the 1970’s, the topic of year-round schooling has been debated by many people. This new system is spreading across the nation fast, in fact, in 2011-12, there were about 3700 schools that operated on the year-round schedule. (Zubrzycki 1,3). Like any other controversial topic, there are both benefits and drawbacks to the year-round schooling system. For instance, a definite benefit would be that, “...with one group of students always on vacation, a school that was built for 750 students can serve as many as 1000.
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I just wanted to give you all a couple of updates. I was giving students book bucks for reading at home each night. The students could then redeem their book bucks for a reward. Keeping track of all of the book bucks and rewards has gotten to be confusing.
My first argument I would like to discuss is about how it would affect farmers if the TDSB switch to a year around school schedule. According to the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture), small family farms average 231 acres; large family farms average 1,421 acres. So, because farms are very large. In the summer when the crops grow in, because the land is big, farmers require help and can’t do it by themselves, so they wake up early and their students help them pull crops and do the work that is too much for their parents. Though if the TDSB switch to a year around school schedule.
These results show yet another reason why we should have a four days school week. Furthermore, attendance is great, but so is saving money.
Teachers and students have more opportunities for quality teaching and quality classroom time. Having a four day school week also helps with the school’s budget. A four day school week helps academic growth. According to a study completed by researchers at Georgia State University and Montana State University “A four day school week had a statistically significant impact on math scores for fifth
Maintenance can make the adjustments and repairs they may need to make closer to the time the issue occurs. Instead of maintenance waiting till summer break they could fix the issue during the vacation weeks. Proponents may ask why the maintenance can not repair the issues during the day. The problem with maintenance working during the day is the safety of the students and if any harm is to occur to a student then it would be the school 's responsibility. Year-round schooling can have effects on budgets.
With a four-day school week helping schools and students, the only other people to help is the parents. The four-day school week would lead to lengthened school days, giving the regular-hour, eight to five, working parents the ability to cancel out after school care. One parent even said it herself “‘I approve of the four-day week’” (Johnston). “Sixty-seven percent of parents stated that their child liked the new schedule, 60 percent of parents thought their child was doing well, and 82 percent of students stated that they liked the calendar’”
Should We Adopt The Four-Day School Week? Imagine only having to go to school four days a week, for some kids that 's a reality. Some topics I will be discussing in this paper are, where do students go on the Monday/Friday they have off, will the district save money with the extra day off, and how do kids perform in class with the extra day off?
There were a couple points that weren't mentioned but I did cover up the majority. I hope you enjoyed this essay and learned something useful. And if enough people support this, maybe one day, this could actually happen. All year round school would help many people and open many opportunities to everybody and help go one step further in the future of

Have you ever thought that free time is often overlooked? Or haven’t you realize that students need time to relax and time to think? I believe that at some point of our lives, we will learn to appreciate free time, which is greatly essential to our total growth as a human being. The four-day school week, first adopted in the 1930s when U.S. was in the throes of the Great Depression, saw a resurgence during the energy crisis of the 1970s. Eventually, the four-day plan was implemented by rural communities, in order to save money on transportation, heating, janitorial, and clerical costs.

Do students really do very much work on those added days? According to one student, they just goof off on those days. Armed with this information maybe e-days would be a great option. Let’s say that tomorrow your child has a snow day if they choose to make it an e-day instead it could keep your child ’s mind busy with the work they would have learned at school that day.
