# report message based on day of week
#       Sunday: weekend day
#       Monday: start of school week
#      Tuesday: school day
#    Wednesday: school day
#     Thursday: school day
#       Friday: end of school week
#     Saturday: weekend day

# get day of interest
reply = input( 'Enter day of week: ' )

# put day in standard format - first letter capitalized, others lower case
day = reply.strip()
day = day.capitalize()

# day = reply.strip().capitalize()   # alternatively could also be written as

print( )

# analyze and report on day
# There are several ways to do this as long as you account for the
# right conditions and outputs in the if, elif, and else statements!

Shorter way to do the same code: 

if ( day == "Monday" ):
    print( "start of school week" )
elif ( day == "Tuesday" or day == "Tuesday" or day == "Tuesday" ):
    print( "school day" )
elif ( day == "Friday" ):
    print( "end of school week" )
else: 
    print( "weekend day" )

Note you could also do any combination with the repeated results like
weekday or weekendday and put those in an else statement or something
along those lines to account for all cases. 

Remember, generally else is used for a big category that satisfies 
the most nonspecific conditions.

# Way to test all possible cases using if/elif/else

if ( day == "Monday" ):
    print( "start of school week" )
elif ( day == "Tuesday"):
    print( "school day" )
elif (day == "Wednesday" ):
    print("school day")
elif (day == "Thursday" ):
    print( "school day")
elif (day == "Friday" ):
    print( "end of school week" )
else: # Saturday or Sunday
    print( "weekend day" )
