This essay is called "Seven Days in a Week" and is about the school board's consideration of whether or not to extend the school time in days. This essay is in letter form.

Dear Editor, Imagine that it is a Friday and that you are relieved to be able to sleep in tomorrow morning. Then, the loud speaker comes on and it announces a reminder saying, "See you tomorrow! Remember, we have changed the school week for the rest of the year!" You instantly recall that a new rule had been passed in the Board of Education. You remember all of the depressing notices mailed to your home. …

…all of the knowledge that they have learned over the passed year. Having a longer school week would ruin family's and friends' relationships, leave no breaks, and cause lower test scores. Do you really want students to suffer their incredibly long weeks and become a failure in life? Do you want teachers to have to come to school from Monday to Friday without even having one break in the whole week? Sincerely, (Your Name Here)
