This is a topic that has been trending for the past year. School districts in Texas moving to four-day-school weeks. KXAN, reports that at least 90 school districts across Texas have now switched to four-day school weeks. This is the state of Texas' effort to prevent teacher turnover!

EVERYTHING IS BIGGER IN TEXAS:
This is a social media post that has made the rounds a few times and I still think this is pretty cool. Check out this now-viral video and a photo showing a food court that appears to be in a mall. However, it is not. This is the cafeteria at Allen High School in North Texas. Mind you this is also the school that also boasts a $60 million football stadium that is out of this world.
Check out the list of restaurants that are located within the food court and what they offer to students: Subway, Pizza Hut, Great Plate, Caliente Cactus, The Roost, Noodle Bar on T, and many more.
