Yeah the kids come first, but what about single parents? What if you really do need two incomes tu make ends meet? What if your job won't do part time? which parent sacrifices their career if both have equal jobs? Mom? If it was me? No thanks.
Maybe I'm weird but I'm not cut out to be stay at home mommy. I'd be bored as f*ck. I look at my friends who do have kids and no job while their husbands work and am not envious or jealous one bit. There's only so much Backyardigans and Handy Manny that I can take. And yeah, it would be my job to "adjust" to the school. I'd adjust myself right out of the school district or find a good private school. |

Homework day at school, simple and easy. The last day of school week it's just doing homework and other tasks with the help of teachers and at own pace. Then before the end of the day they can watch a movie, maybe a movie about some topic they are learning about.

I agree that in this day and age, you need two parents who work to make ends meet. It's not like it used to be in the days when I was growing up. Back then, Mom stayed home and took care of us while Dad worked in the mill. Then after I started going to school, Mom got a job there as a teacher's aide. But nowadays, it's almost impossible for only one parent to work while one stays home in this economy.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that NameGoesHere1066 is not a parent. I would love to be able to spend more time with my boy and a three day weekend with him would be great. But finding a full time job that would allow me to work a 4 day week would be extremely difficult. And his quality of life would suffer significantly if my wife or I were forced to go out and switch to part time or become stay at home. That being said, if a change like this was ever forced upon us, we would be able to afford one day of daycare a week on top of school. It would just be inconvenient and take away money from other things for him.

I think a 4 day would do wonders for the bigger school districts would save those districts a **** load of money, but would lead to kids being unsupervised for a day, bc most parents go to work 5 days a week and not all parents can afford baby sitters..... Id say try it with the high schools in the bigger districts, I think by that time High schoolers are old enough to make there own decisions and can watch themselves.

As for the topic at hand, I think this will be good for older kids. They can use the open day to have more after school job oppertunities or extra school related activities. Or have it set up so that kids with learning problems can have some one on one time with a teacher and catch up.

For some women it's fine. My personality type is not conducive for being a stay at home. I'm extremely type A, I need adult conversation, and I enjoy being in a job where I am constantly challenged and have to think on my feet. I used to babysit when I was in highschool and it was the most greuling god-awful experience for me. So yeah, I'm not the stay at home type.
Some people are. I'd suck at it. I love potential future children of mine enough to understand that the best me I can show them is not me being unhappy and unfulfilled sitting at home. Hubby can stay at home.
