Four days a week

Schools in Georgia are considering staying open four days a week to cope with budget cuts. One school district did this last fall; more are considering it now. "Peach County officials have estimated they saved $313,000 in transportation and utilities costs by making the schedule change," according to a report by the Associated Press. 

It raises a host of questions:
1. Are the school hours longer on the four school days?
2. How are working parents coping with the change?
3. Where are kids going on their day off?
4. Are they engaging in any distance-learning or project-based learning?
