Why? Because schools are all moving to 4 day school weeks. The opposition to this is parents trying to find daycare for their kids on Fridays.
GOP: “If everyone could switch to 4 day school weeks, the teachers could get 20% pay cuts and we could give out tax cuts!”
(Never mind the fact that Friday is the day teachers fill out paperwork for the individual learning plans that EVERY CHILD now has. Not ‘works toward designing them’ or ‘helping students in anyway’, Friday is JUST for the paperwork surrounding it.)
