Rejected petition Change the school week to 4 days, by having an extra 10 mins a day.

I would like to change the school times, so that there would only be 4 days in the school week instead of 5. However, to accomomadate for the learning hours lost, you could add an extra 10 mins onto each day to compensate. Overall, people will get the same amount of learning hours.

More details

So that students get more rest and longer weekends to help with the increased workload as you go up the school years.
