The Wednesday Rule is a practice that originally occured in schools in Kuboia since 1996.
In September 1995, Trevor Reef announced that there may be plans to cancel the five-day week schools had been using in Kuboia since its formation. The idea was to cancel schools on Thursdays, allowing younger children to “learn things outside of school” and allowing older children to study.
In February 1996, Reef confirmed that from August that year, schools would only run for four days a week, with children getting Wednesday off. Reef said that Wednesday was the chosen day instead of Thursday because ”everybody thought it made more sense”.
The Wednesday Rule is only partially included in boarding schools - they run during Wednesday mornings but end after lunch.
