Good morning and welcome to Kid News Summer Style.

Through July, we're bringing you a Kid News Classic Story, followed by a Newdler Challenge.

This one is generously underwritten by the Anderson Family Trust, supporting organizations

that inform and engage future generations.

Today, we look into whether less can sometimes be more.

Lots of companies and many school districts are trying out four-day work weeks.

According to The New York Times, a recent study in Britain found that a trial by businesses

there found no drop in productivity.

In fact, some are seeing a big improvement when compared to a five-day week.

Workers say they have more time to exercise, spend time with family, and just relax.

And for schools, the possibility of a four-day week has been discussed and tested for years,

and is also getting real-world testing because of COVID.

Most at least three reasons that you should have a four-day school week, and at least three

reasons that you should not.

Find a partner, choose sides, and debate.

Tune in tomorrow for a new story and question taken from our podcast and from our free monthly

worksheet known as the Newdler.

Each exercise is designed to take our Kid News Kids beyond the headlines to get them thinking

critically about current events.

And while you're noodle, we're recharging our news batteries and looking forward to getting

back on the air with fun, fresh episodes on Monday, July 31st.
