[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dont' want FT DL forever. But, I do think some elements of the DL should stay, including the option to maybe have some classes DL and to be able to use DL on sick days (where too sick or contagious to go out but you could sit through a class from home). Also proficiency with a distanced portal (zoom or whatever) is a useful skill to have for many professions that have the ability to work remotely or that are transitioning that way part or full time.

I also personally LOVE the 4 day weeks, which they could easily to by restructuring the calendar a little (allow catching up on homework, and just a bit of a breather for the kids in the week). But the uptights around here would never stand for it. [/quote]

I think you mean the employed people wouldn’t stand for it. Go get a job. [/quote]

No, I am a DP and the first poster called it completely right.  It is people like you, high anxiety with poor logic and no ability to adapt, who are holding the rest of us back.  My family would love a 4-day school week, too.  Both my husband and I work but we could easily adapt to a 4-day school week because, get this, we don't depend on school for childcare.  Figure it out, PP.  Stop blaming other people for your problems.[/quote]

If you can do it, I'm sure everyone can. Especially,  say, a working class single mother, or a family where both parents work jobs that can't be done from home.

You're so clueless and privileged, it's almost quaint. Almost.[/quote]

Sorry about your situation. But you can't please everyone. [b]A 4 day school work could be adapted to quite easily, imo[/b]. In fact, ES used to have early dismissal on Mondays and it was fine. Daycare, TW, camps, SACC . . would all fill the gap.

Some DL would also eliminate the need for so many built in snow days/hours for snow days. Give them a couple days for "fun" then the rest can be done virtually and school can end earlier in the summer. [/quote]

HAHAHAAAAA....oh god this is the FUNNIEST.  The entirety of the white collar world functions on a 5-day-a-week work week.  Yes, yes, it will be totally easy to convert to the 4-day-a-week.  Yes.

God, you really, really are so appallingly blind to your wealth and privilege.  [/quote]
