Don't have to worry about this! I'm out of school!!!!

I'm a teacher. I could not handle 6 days.

you would get paid more

....
That's not the issue
And even if it was, schools are making budget cuts just to survive, if we had to pay an entire staff for another day, plus the operating costs of a school which can be extremely high.

true...

Every single one of your posts around on the forums has been a one sentence or less post...
Care to elaborate instead of just posting one word?

I would H8 it beat this French Kids have 2 go 7 days a week and if they don't work hard enough there sent down a year

Teachers are not in the profession for the money. Most of us are here because we want to make a difference and improve the education system in America. Adding another day would make it impossible to make the changes I want.

Pros: More time to finish homework and schoolwork

Cons: +50% chance of suicide and mental breakdowns
+50% chance of quitting school
+50% chance of becoming a thug due to lack of schooling

Though Japan may have a 6-day school week with higher pass rates, they also have a much higher teen suicide rate. We have enough people killing themselves over the economy & drugs.

The only good thing about going to school 6 days a week would be that you get a longer summer vacation.

I'm seeing the longer summer/spring/winter break argument, but that A) May not be the case and B) Is not always a good thing. Longer breaks means more boredom means more delinquency. Which is bad. And yes, that is a valid argument. I experienced it first hand. 3 months is a long time. 4 or 5 months is even longer. Break is awesome for about 2 - 3 weeks, then it gets REALLY boring. Unless you have something very constructive to do, it's very boring.

The problem isn't how much time you spend teaching...but how you actually teach.
