Best thing since sliced bread: most school employees will still work a full 5-day week. Some possibilities:
- parents will get to spend more time with their children; though a challenge for families where both parents work;
- employers may figure out way to go to 4-day work weeks to accommodate shorter school weeks;
- teachers can use that fifth day to grade papers; plan for the next week;
- the four days become more efficient;
- I was a middle school / high school teach for several years; a four-day week would have been more than enough;
- students have a fifth day to get their homework done; more free time to read -- much more responsibility placed on parents to make sure children stay "productive"
- on-line education will increase
- an extra day at home: children can learn "home economics"
