re: What in the actual frick - 4 day school weeks

They get fricking 3 months off in the Summer, and another month of Holidays during the school year. An 8 month work schedule, and now they need a 4 day week? How fragile are these people? What they really need is year round school, and for teachers to have to pass a bi-yearly competence exam.... pass or be fired. PERIOD.
The kids they are graduating can't read or do basic math... What a bunch of lazy, ineffective, whiners. Work year round like the rest of us, and do your damn jobs.

Pretty ignorant take. While teachers may not technically be at school during the summer or holidays they also are not getting paid for those days off. Most ,at least in Texas, have just agreed to have their salaries spread over a 12 month period. Teacher already passed a competency test much like you passed a drivers test. Instead of bitching about something you obviously know little about how about you get more involved in your local school district. Run for school board. Lobby your legislature to get rid of state testing. Make a positive change rather than run your mouth and look like an ignorant frick.

work will eventually follow suit. i agree with it. 4 day work week would be better

It just pissed me off that the teachers claimed to be the poor victims here for having to work a normal 5 day week. Boo fricking hoo

You should teach for a year.

It is a shame that everyone will preach family values/being involved with kids/etc, then turn around and say no flexibility to allow parents to do this when it comes to being a worker drone.

You are a fricking idiot beyond belief!!

My wife teaches, my kids are in public school. They went to 4 days a few years ago. Zero issues in the community. Most holidays are on a Monday (which they have off) and if not doctors/dentists appointments are scheduled for this day. Attendance has improved dramatically and teachers from surrounding parishes have come in to fill vacant positions.
They end the last day in May and start August 4. In between there is workshops, camps, and other extracurricular activities that keep my wife and kids busy for those few months.
You truly are a miserable frick and I hope you don’t have a family that sits on their arse all day!

Dear Nega-Teachers:

Please stop bitching about your job. You all are making the rest of us look bad. If you can't handle it then quit.

Teachers tried to get this in my town and parents raised so much heck the school board opted to stick with the 5 day.

Actually the teachers wanted a schedule that was year round and led to week vacations once a month. They tried to sneak that one in first.

My kids went to non traditional schedule. Only 6 weeks of summer. A week off almost every month. Was great for our family at that time. Would have been all for four day weeks. Not sure how parents that both work would deal with that though.
