If anyone were to ask me if Mondays should be canceled, immediately I would say yes. Mondays are the worst. Everyone always wants Fridays off, but to have a Monday off is so much better. Mondays drag, they can make or break the week.

 Typically everyone uses the weekend to clean around the house and get caught up on chores, but we all need to have one day of rest in order to make sure our lives run smoothly. When the human body works all the time, constantly running, it wears us down, and we age faster. The human body needs 6-8 hours of sleep every night in order to function. During the week, most people work themselves to the breaking point. Everyone needs that extra day to restart. If you run your bones and joints to the point of pain or breaking, they never get the chance to rebuild and start over. 

If schools would look into taking Mondays off, it would benefit everyone. The schools would experience better attendance, higher staff morale, and save on some costs. Students tend to take Fridays off for an extra day, but if we had Mondays off, Fridays off would slow down tremendously. We students tend to need more rest rather than other people. We work ourselves vigorously throughout the week, and even after our 8-hour school day, most high school students keep a part-time job as well as school. Most adults only work an 8-hour job, which is a lot, but to expect someone so young to go to school, and then work is insane. 

Mondays off would benefit everyone tremendously. Our bodies need more rest, it would solve the high absences, and overall it would help everyone be in a better mood. Everyone would benefit from an extra day, and we should seriously consider an extra day off.
