Its an effort to save both money and jobs. Some districts in oklahoma, theyre shortening the school week to four days instead of five. Good idea . Rehema ellis takes a look. On mondays when most kids are in school, 14yearold abby riggs is working her sister is busy coaching cheerleader. Theyre not alone. Because in wagoner, oklahoma, kids go to school four days a week with an extra hour added each day. Even though the days are longer, i like having mondays off. A state facing a budget crisis and teacher shortage. Doubled from 51 to 97 or 20 statewide. Last year we were able to save 180,000. On such things as transportation, substitutes and yu tilts. In return, they retained more teachers, reinstated art classes. Discipline is down and attendance is up. Our kids are actually, because theyre here more often, because teachers are here more often, theyre receiving more educational instructional time. With in the bottom half in the nation, some state officials call it a tragedy. I dont think its good for kids. We have no evidence that says that this is helpful. That this increases student outcome.

Its exercise fusion with elements of tai chi, yoga, tae kwon do, jazz and interpretive dance. Really however you want to express yourself. Its a way to tap into your own power and strength and to be free. For some, that means freedom from pain. I had both shoulder surgeries done and its helped me with my movement in my shoulders and helped me with my physical therapy. Experts say its not unusual for people to resist a lot of movement after surgery. Theyll be in pain. By doing the classes where theyre ur style. The idea would be to release tension within the body.
