MISCONCEPTIONS<br />
1. Student learning will digress<br />
over the 3 day weekend.<br />
2. Longer days are difficult <strong>for</strong><br />
young students.<br />
3. Increase in juvenile<br />
delinquency.<br />
4. Students who attend school<br />
in a four-day school week<br />
are not competitive <strong>for</strong><br />
college or the job market.<br />
FACTS<br />
1. Of the numerous 4-day school<br />
districts in Oregon this has not been<br />
the case. In fact, many offer one-onone<br />
interventions <strong>for</strong> struggling<br />
students on the fifth day.<br />
2. This has not been reported in the<br />
research. Students are resilient and<br />
adjust to the added 45-50 minutes.<br />
3. Does this happen now How about<br />
during, vacations or other breaks<br />
Not reported in other districts.<br />
4. This is not accurate, in fact students<br />
in one 4-day school district received<br />
over $900,000 in college<br />
scholarships, were accepted to top<br />
universities and are successful.
