[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like the shorter days at 5 days a week.

It means no before or aftercare.

It means less rushing in the morning and being able to take a beat and breathe when getting home.

It means we all can sleep in an hour later.

It means we can peacefully have homework going or playing happening while I prepare real meals.

+1.  I wonder if the people pushing for 3 days a week have kids in school yet.  My son started preschool at age 3 (he was desperately ready - so that's when I decided to go back to work, albeit PT on a 5-day schedule). If I was home 2 days a week, I think I would be insanely bored and probably whittle it away watching tv. And I'd probably end up doing more work those days than I otherwise should.  Then I'd just be really tired the other three days when I was working.    I like 5 days a week, because I squeeze in 5 days of working, making lunch, pick up and drop off, gym, coffee with colleagues, etc in a 9-5 schedule without any particular stress. [/quote]
