Story: School District Ditching Monday Classes to Save Money
Let's say there's an average of 40 weeks of school during the year. That's 40 Monday's they will be missing. Multiply that by the 13 years most students attend school. What we have here results in a group of Minnesota pupils that are graduating 520 days dumber than all other students across the country. Does the city have a plan for all these kids running around town every Monday without anything to do? I just finished reading an article from the year 2010: "Teen pregnancy reaches all-time high in Minnesota."

It would be nice if you got your story straight. It is 23 Mondays and they will be making it up by adding an hour to each of the other school days. It will actuall be an increase of teaching time.
Adding an hour to each of the other days? My math says that's 4 hours extra per week. So unless Mondays are only 4 hours long, seems like there will still be less school.
