I don't have kids but since I was one once I think I can share an opinion on the subject: I think a 4 day school week is VERY smart and way more effective. HOWEVER: when I was in middle school our school has asbestos and so they closed our school and we shared a neighboring school and to do this we only had school 5 hours a day. Either from 7-12 or 12-5. It was even more awesome than the 4 day a week plan. I don't recommend asbestos though so I think the 4 day plan is the way to go.

You do know that the poopy state of Utah just started a 4-day work week, right? Right! All the government offices are workin' 4 10s to save on energy and boost consumerism on Fridays!

Amazing, right? The best thing to come out of Utah since french braids and peasant skirts

I can't decide if I would rather have Mondays off, or Fridays off.
I think I'd like Fridays off.

I'm impressed you read TIME Magazine. Very good. I don't read it. I'm not so good.

I was singing Manic Monday in my head the entire time I was reading this.

Anti-litigation and anti-celery? Would you please hurry up and run for President?!

4 day school weeks?

Man, do NOT let MY CHILD hear about these. Wow.

If they get to have a 4 day school week, then shouldnt WE get to have a 4 day work weeks?

I know you feel me on this!!

Have you read in Time Magazine about how in NYC some companies are in fact doing the 4 day work week thing. Instead of working 8 hours a day, the employees will work 10 hours a day and be closed on Friday. Oh...and the same companies giving away 4 day work weeks, are also the ones letting their employees TAKE NAPS.

Yeah. I need a new job. Or no job would even ber better.

So are they going to make the school days longer or our kids just going to miss out on that much learning? Kids in this country are already falling behind so much I just can't see how this is a good idea...despite it being really fun.

I'm thinking I should start sending out resumes to the school districts in my area.

Uhm, yeah. Who is Marty Robbins?

We either need three day weekends or nap time every day. Right now I'd be okay with either.

Ok, don't be mad, but I actually had a four-day work week for a year and a half at my last job! And let me tell you: they are even better than you imagine. My favorite part about it was on Fridays when I'd go walking around on my neighborhood's "main street" and seeing only stay at home moms, trust fund babies, and what I assume must have been writers (this was Berkeley, after all). It truly is a different world when you're free on a weekday.

Also, my first car was a VW Bug too!!!

p.s. Who's Marty Robbins? Stop laughing. I seriously don't know.

You had me at Marty Robbins.
