I believe that schools should be closed every single Wednesday afternoon, for many valid reasons. Students will have the ability to study or use this time for homework, which will assist in the process of consistent learning. Maintenance of a school is extremely important and necessary if student continuing attendance is desired; this is why having a day off will provide a great benefit. An opportunity for time will allow students to catch up on things they are lacking in such as sleep, time for relaxation and extra time to be with family and friends.
If school students were given the extra hours of a Wednesday afternoon, they could use this time sufficiently by studying.
