I wrote about the quiet erosion of the five day school week. Take Wake County Public Schools, for example, where students will experience only two uninterrupted five-day instructional weeks in Sept, Nov, Dec, and Mar next year. I worry we haven't fully considered the costs of this policy choice.

Four-day school weeks attract attention and debate. Traditional calendars packed with student-free weekdays deserve it, too.
