Not exactly 2-3 months, but it could be shorter. I wish they would categorize kids into different time schedules for school. I mean like, if some people can work quicker, and are more dedicated, they finish school earlier (i.e. they would finish a school year early). Hence, this would make the underachievers try harder."
The high school I'm switching to in a year is sort of like that.  They go by credits, some are compulsory (3 math, 4 english, 1 science, etc.)  and than some free credits that you get, (ie more specific ones, like accounting, biology, creative writing, etc.) plus co-op.  So if you fail, you need to stay in school longer and you can get 6 instead of 8 classes a term, with permission, to lighten the load if need be.  (In the case of disabilities)  If all goes according to plan for me (not failing anything)  than I should finish HS in 3.5 years, and in that last term, only doing 1-2 classes and leaving school after lunch.

Are things getting this bad that they're thinking about cutting basic essential national programs? The US education wasn't exactly the best in the world to begin with and I know it sounds awesome, woot a 4 day week, but in real terms you're gonna get less and possibly even more dumbed down education. This won't be good for the upcoming generations.

I also have 4 day weeks in college =D

Anyways, isn't the idea supposed to be 4 days of school, 10 hours per day? I thought they wanted to extend the hours to have it all balance out. Correct me if I'm wrong.
