Notes From All Over, Part 1 -- February 23, 2020

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"
