[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make every week no more than a 4-day school week. If there's not a federal/religious/other holiday, make the day off a Monday or a Friday. Generally align them so there's intermittent 2-day/4-day weekends (rather than continuous 3-day weekends). Still allows for a month of summer vacation. Students and teachers get more opportunities to breathe and catch up throughout the school year, and avoids the worst of summer academic slide by limiting the contiguous time off to a month.

Many people would hate this. I would love this.[/quote]

Yeah some of have jobs. Will Big Daddy's big law job pay for childcare for the rest of us?[/quote]

I have a job, but I can handle having the kids home 1 day a week. Just WFH that day, have them do workbooks, play in the yard or with friends, give 'em a little screentime after lunch, etc. same as I do on the days off we have now. It was a challenge in the early days of the pandemic to make the adjustment, but it's pretty routine now. Obviously wouldn't work as well for people who can't WFH.[/quote]

No. Just stop. Your experience WFH with kids at home is not universal. Stop acting like it’s sooo easy. Your job must not be that hard if you can handle constant interruptions all day.

(Here’s where you chime in and say your job is super important and you’re just better at life than others… the usual BS). [/quote]

At what point did I say my experience was universal? I literally said "Many people would hate this."  Just because my experience and preferences differ from yours doesn't make mine invalid. Get over yourself. I think it's more about what degree of flexibility your job provides than how "hard" it is... e.g. I can usually shift some hours to evenings or other days. Same with my spouse. Between us we can manage the kids home 1 day a week without ruining our careers. YMMV.[/quote]
