[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everywhere that has experimented with 4 day work weeks has found health benefits [/quote]

Would this extend to schools? How about restaurants and stores? [/quote]

Many restaurants and stores have limited hours, are closed on slow days, etc but they aren't likely using FT wage workers anyways because of benefits. And there are even some companies that keep employees under the threshold of both benefit coverage and overtime. Almost everything in Germany is closed on Sunday and people manage. Imagine if you had a 4 day work week and then had 3 days to do everything else and then even had 1 day where the world slowed down around you. Sunday closures may not change your life as much if you had two other days to do all the other stuff.

Schools should have double the staff anyways where they teach for x days and have paperwork/admin x day but a full 5 day week for students. We still have schooling set up with the idea that a parent is at home all day/SAHP, the teachers are nuns/single, and all kids can bike/walk home for lunch. Schools don't reflect our economy.[/quote]
