 FIRST is an amazing combination of principles that, when applied to the world, has had a monstrous effect on the way High School students learn, think, and relate to others. - Amanda M [more] |

Re: Hawaii public schools go to 4 day school week
School hours/days are indeed determined by the state, however most school districts wish their schools to be accredited by independent agencies like the Northwest Accreditation agency to lend enough validity to their programs so colleges feel that kids from participating districts are meeting certain standards. One of the standards is seat time for kids and the reduction described by Glenn comes nowhere near the hours criteria of any agency I know of. Hard to imagine a whole state ignoring accreditation but desperate times bring desperate measures...
If your state does allow exceptions for volunteer work on your long weekends you should be ok, right Glenn? |
