The Local Park

The local park is full of life, everyday you can see:-

Children playing in the park after school

Mothers bringing small children to the park during the day

The ice-cream van that is always very popular on a sunny

afternoon Dogs running around and playing

Grandparents taking a walk

The couple across the road admiring the lovely view of the

park- they have just brought the house.

But last night, Harry, Harriet, Lucy and Jed got bored and decidedto have fun damaging the park.

This morning, the local people woke up to find the park in a terrible

mess

Words have been sprayed all over the play ground (graffiti)

Broken grass is all across the grassy area The swings have been broken

The slide has a hole smashed in it

The football posts have been damaged

The local people are very upset.

AfourDaySchoolWeek

Opinions

Forafourdayschoolweek:

I think a four-day week is a good idea for taking the pressure off youngpeople and giving them more time to devote to hobbies and extra-curricularactivities. Pupil

I think a four-day week is an excellent idea. This would greatly reduce myworkload as I would have more time for planning and marking. I coulddedicate more time to creating quality lessons for my students. Teacher

I think a four day week is a great idea- I get so exhausted after a 5 days of

learning- 4 days would be so much better and allow me to be refreshed and

ready to learn on Monday again! Pupil

I think a 4 day week is a great idea- Id love to spend an extra day with my

children. I feel like I never see them as they are at school all the time.Parent, who works part-time.

Againstafourdayschoolweek:

I already find it difficult to pay for after school childcare for my children. Iwould not be able to afford an additional day of child care and I would not be

able to take the day off work. I may have to change my job so that I can worka four-ay week and that would mean a great deal less money for my family. Working parent

Many of the teachers at my school are keen on a four-day week and say thatlessons would be improved with more time to plan them. I am concerned,however, that standards will fall with less time devoted to teaching andlearning. Head teacher

Teachers already have it so easy and get long enough holidays as it is- whyshould we give them a day when they dont teach?-University Student

AfourDaySchoolWeek

StatementfromtheSecretaryofStateofEducation

Speaker, This government is proposing a new law, under the Education Reform Act2010 that would see the number of days children and young people attend school toreduced to four days a week. We propose that pupils attend school Monday-Thursday. Teachers would still have to attend work on the Friday, but would havethis time to devote to planning, preparation and assessment.

We believe that a four-day school week would greatly improve the quality of education in our

schools. It would reduce the workload of teachers by giving them more time to plan andprepare. This would help reduce stress, a key reason why many good teachers are decidingto leave the profession. With more preparation time, the quality of lessons in schools willimprove and we could expect to see improvements in standards across all subject areas.

Students would also benefit, enabling them to feel more refreshed and ready to learn on aMonday after a 3 day break.

AfourDaySchoolWeek

StatementfromtheSHADOWSecretaryofStateofEducation

Speaker, I have to contest that The Governments plans,presented by the honourable gentleman/lady are ill-conceived.In the current state, they would lead to problems for nearlyevery household in the UK. Parents would struggle with

childcare, family income would drop and therefore our economywould struggle.

It is our opinion that there are better options available and thatthis proposal, should only be considered if a four-day workingweek for employees is considered at the same time. In theircurrent form, this bill would be a major blow to parents trying towork to support their families at a time when child care costs

are already preventing some parents from gaining employment.
