Why do we have only 2 days of the week to spend for our break for work or school?

When you grow up, you will understand that time is money.  It may seem unfair to only have 2 days off out of 7, but that's just the way things are.  There are people in the world who work or go to school 6 or 7 days a week, and get a day off only once in a great while.\nEnjoy being a kid as long as you can.

Actually, weekdays have higher traffic volume. Many U.S. Internet users still rely upon the workplace for access to a high-speed Internet connection, making online shopping even more convenient. For example - The first Monday after Thanksgiving is referred to as ‘Black Monday’ in the online retail world as consumers return to the workplace following the holiday weekend and shop till they drop on lunch and on breaks (and probably when they should be working!)

As much as people run around on weekends, adding another day would make it worse, not better.  Besides short of working 10-hour days, people would have less money and that would hurt the economy.\n\nOf course, I work at a company where I can flex my hours so I could do this if I wanted to but the idea of 10-hour days does not appeal to me at all.

For people who work Monday to Friday, I think people rarely "love" working on Saturdays... unless they love to work in the first place. And most don't.\n\nBut Saturday is often a good day to get things done, without distrubances. At least you'll have fewer phone calls and distractions.

Seven years ago I considered it last, but in America it is the first, so since I consider it as first. In other cultures and countries, sunday is a middle day. Iraqi's work week is Saturday through Thursday.

I have to agree with Ivy...mostly for the same reasons.  I work Monday through Friday, my son goes to school Monday through Friday, and my wife works Sunday through Thursday.  So Saturday is our Family Day and we try to take advantage of it as best we can...trips to Virginia Beach, cook-outs in the backyard, etc...  Good Times!

Everyone is allowed  two days off work. These days do not have to be consecutive. This is the law. If the employee chooses to work 7 days a week, that is up to the boss to allow or not.

Unless your lunch break is paid for by the company you can take it whenever you want, it's your time, not theirs. As far as breaks, those are paid for by the company so I'm afraid you would have to take those as assigned.

Our school district designates certain days as "Teacher Work Days" or "Teacher Development Days" when students cannot be on campus. These are important days that allow teachers to spend time needed to plan, collaborate and generally improve their teaching skills by attending workshops and conferences. With most of the school year spent in the classroom, teachers hardly have time to meet with other teachers to collaborate, plan, explore new teaching techniques or improve their skills.\n\nAfter a school day or on Friday, most teachers (at our school at least) take loads of work home to grade, etc. Some teachers regularly come in on the weekend, too. A few days spread out during the school year without students provides necessary non-student time during the work week that teachers really need.\n\nI agree that the child care issue is a problem for those households with two parents who work. However, if a school year calendar is provided which tell parents when non-student days are scheduled, couldn't parents arrange child care well ahead of time? Before I became a teacher six years ago--when I had children at home--I reviewed the school year calendar when I got it before the end of the current school year and arranged childcare well ahead of time. Just a thought.

American children do get too much time off. For one, the government has made week long vacations for holiday seasons(for example, most students get two to three weeks of rest for winter alone). Second, because of the religious and ethnic diversity of the nation, holidays of all types are being made into federal vacation days (Such as Jewish and Islamic festivals) Third, because of the sum of money needed to pay teachers to essentially babysit (Come on, American schools are just not that good anymore!), the government made summer vacation, an entire three month long rest with very little purpose. \nI personally do think that school should be all year. Most come back from summer forgetting everything from the previous year, and year-round schooling would resolve that while decreasing laziness and drop-out rates, most of which are very high.

The reason society proposed summer holidays is so that the children could work in the fields (this is also the original reason).\n\nThe geographical reason for summer holidays is that it is hot in the summer, and schools can save on their air conditioning bills.  It is also the time when most people take a vacation (would you want to visit the Statue of Liberty while it was snowing.)
