So what does everyone think of the new weekly schedule? The news tonight said..."The change aims to give teachers more instructional time to help improve academic performance."

Is this really going to help academic performance? It seems like the school system has a meeting every week to try to find a way to piss off the parents even more. Now everyone has to leave work early in the middle of the week, or pay for an extra hour of child care. Too me success in the classroom has a lot to do with natural intelligence and being motivated to learn by being raised in a caring household. I don't think ten extra minutes on Friday will boost failing students GPA's. You can always ask for extra help after school if you need it no matter when the school day ends. I think they offered tutoring at my schools when students needed it. What are teachers really going to do with their "extra hour" of lesson planning? It sounds like a good excuse for teachers to leave work an hour early to go enjoy the rest of the day since 10 minutes of their weekend has been taken away.

^^^I'm just interested in hearing what a teacher has to say about this new system. The news never asks any of them.

"I am a teacher and I think this is a pretty dumb idea. It would make it virtually impossible to do anything with students on Wednesdays after school because they will make teachers go to meetings instead of helping students.

I hope they vote no...."

^Some people on the news were concerned about the extra hour of daycare that they will be paying for in this economy. I think if they are going to do anything like this they should take an hour away from the school week on Friday. No one was ever in the mood to study on Friday afternoon when I was in public school.

^I don't know why they picked that day. It just goes to show you how stupid the Wake County Public school system is. They always make stupid changes like this every year. The parents hate the school board. When I was in school, the last 10 minutes on Friday was reserved for students not paying attention and watching the clock while waiting for the weekend to arrive. Now they have to go through that for 10 extra minutes. It's about the worst time to try to learn something even if you are smart.
