We are announcing a transition to 5 school days starting on the first of September in middle schools and high school. We had an orderly process of studying the subject including visiting cities that already operate a shortened study week. We also held a public participation procedure in which we sent questionnaires to parents, students and teachers. The results were clear: about 75% of all parents, 83% of the students expressed their desire to switch to 5 days of study. In all schools over 80% of the teachers expressed the same position.
He went on to say: "We believe that we are making the right move. The economy has long since moved to 5 working days and this is also the right thing in the education system. The transition to 5 school days will make it possible to create quality family time, continuous and more meaningful learning, building a system of hours Balanced learning, taking into account the needs of all students.
The education and management teams will be available to the students throughout the week, which may contribute to the feeling of security and improving the relationship between the teachers and the students. An additional day of rest will allow students to reduce stress, refresh and return to class with a higher motivation for learning. The sixth day is designated for informal education activities, teenage classes, sports and youth movements.

Really "beautiful" the youth today is free. Really?? It's not serious, children walking around on Fridays in the streets? The giggle? And they serve it to us wrapped in toxic Syria. What's going on Dukorsky, the education system has gone off the rails so you are leading a course to destruction. ? It is neither serious nor professional and it is a recipe for damage. Recalculate route
What happens when you don't study on Fridays, is that 13-14 year old children with alcohol are drunk or injured in accidents at 1 am on Thursdays and Fridays spend in the hospital emergency room.
Thanks to the mayor. This is how it is when you only think of populism - a weekly headline in the newspaper.
A terrible mistake. Even so, the children are idle and do nonsense, that way they will do more and roam the streets more, when some parents work on Fridays.
what a mistake
In addition to the fact that a day is a time for errands for the parents, the children just sit in the pool for another day and do nothing.. Today my son (2th grade) came back from school twice a week at XNUMX:XNUMX exhausted and said himself that these hours are hard and he no longer understands anything.. so Add these hours normally? unnecessary!!.
As a teacher in the education system, I think this is a mistake!! Friday will not be dedicated to family time nor to social or volunteer activities. On Thursday evening the children went out late so that they could sleep in on Friday. And unfortunately there is nowhere to go out, but to the public garden, with some alcohol and cigarettes for a good atmosphere.
Another thing - the students will study more hours every day. Even so, it is difficult for students to concentrate on learning in the last hours, so now more hours will be added at the end of the day.
And where will the individual lessons for help, who come to help the weak students? Many times the lessons are given at the end of a short day - at 13 pm, now he will have to teach an individual at 14:30 pm?? Inefficient and unreasonable!!
The economy moved to five working days, excellent! When will you understand that the education system is not the economy???? It doesn't make sense to me that 80% of the teachers are in favor of five days! The parents and children should not be asked because their opinion is not professional, and if in many schools in the center of the country I know for sure that only half of the teachers are interested in five days - there is no way that 80% of the teachers agree.
You should rethink things!!!
Or maybe assign teachers from the municipality to give individual hours to students on Fridays instead of weekends. The teachers will receive payment from the municipality by the hour, not to oblige the school's teachers to work on this day, only those who are interested in an additional salary.

Kudos to Mayor Dukorski, a city with personal innovation. I'm going to leave Kiryat Motzkin and move to Bialik. We got a new mayor who is a liar
