3. A legal practice by candidates who fill political clubs with their supporters for their endorsements. 
4. Hotels get the greatest impact
5. Approximately $2.5 million

 Long Response:

1. The story is about how how going to school just four days a week is becoming more popular throughout the states, and can be helpful. Families and students are very happy with this change, and it gives them more time. However, the change isn't making everyone happy. Sometimes families who work have trouble finding day care for their kids on Fridays, and sometimes kids need the low cost foods at school. 

 2. Some advantages to four day weeks would be that it boosts attendance and attracts more teachers. Also, parents like the idea because it gives them more family time. 

 3. Some disadvantages to four day weeks would be that parents have trouble finding day car for Fridays, and some students need the low-cost meals provided at school for them. 

 4. I would be in favor of doing four day weeks because I think I waste so much time at school doing busy work that teachers provide just to occupy us for class, when I could actually be learning or exercising or spending time with family.

 5. I would spend a lot more time with my family and friends, go on weekend trips more, and I'd also get a lot more sleep. I'd be so happy to have that time because I could focus more on self care and I could do homework in a less stressful environment. 

 6. My parents would be in favor of it because I've been telling them about the time wasted in public school for a very long time. My parents actually pulled me out of public school for a while because of the unnecessary stress teachers put on us and how little I was actually learning. For example, most of my classes' projects are like arts and crafts, not intelligent work. 

 7. I would have longer class times so I'd have more time to finish my work, and I'd also have to bring snacks and more water to get me through the day. It would be hard to get up so early and leave late, but I could make up for that sleep on the weekend.

Car raid

Avery Shelton has had her favorite silver Toyota Forerunner since 2015. Her car has traveled with her as she has grown and has served her well. Shelton’s family bought her car in 2015, and it’s been used by her family almost every day. “My family uses our car all the time,” Shelton said. “We use it for simple things such as going to the store, but also on big trips across the country.” The car is tidy, but has dilapidated grey seats. “Since we use our car so much, we often find that it gets a little run-down,” Shelton said. “We always try to keep it as clean as possible though.” Shelton has three sisters who can make life in the car quite difficult. “The biggest downside about the car is that my sisters always take up so much room,” Shelton said. “They’re so loud and make a ton of messes in the car.” A cinnamon-scented car diffuser dangles from the mirror, filling the car with a delicious smell. “We love our diffuser so much,” Shelton said. “I think it ...
