Inference
The four-day school week by Denise-Marie Ordway
Critics point out the change to the four day school week can be tough on lower-income parents, who may have trouble paying for childcare on the day their kids no longer have class. Also, some low-income students rely on public schools for almost half their meals - breakfasts and lunches during the week. Paul T. Hill, a research professor at the University of Washington Bothell, has argued that while some adults like the new schedule, this "troubling development" could end up hurting rural students. "The idea has proved contagious because adults like it: Teachers have more free time, and stay-at-home parents like the convenience of taking kids to doctors and doing errands on Friday," Hill co-wrote in a piece published on the Brown Center Chalkboard blog in 2017. "If local leaders are lucky, graduates of these schools won't be any less well educated than their siblings who went to school all week. But, in an environment where young rural adults already suffer from isolation and low economic opportunity, the shorter school week could exacerbate their problems."
Select the detail that supports the inference that the four-day school week will not impact education.
