4 day work week

That's right yall, you read that right!
4. Day. Work. Week.
You know that article that is circulating Facebook and other social media, about that school district in Colorado that is all the RAVE, being bold and out there because they have a 4. Day. Work. Week.
Yeah, that hip and cool school district, that's my new school district. And I am here to tell you, this 4 day work week thing - It's pretty sweet.
But in all seriousness, you have GOT to try this 4 day thing. Why have we not thought of this sooner? It is amazing. I can't tell you how great it is to have a three day weekend EVERY WEEKEND. The time to recharge is amazing. It gives me time to decompress and spend QUALITY time with my family. Don't get me wrong, cramming everything in is challenging. Teaching everything the state requires in 4 days instead of 5 is a lot. Not to mention the days I work are longer to compensate for the shorter week. But honestly, I am at school from 730-5 or so everyday anyway regardless of when I have kids. Kid hours are 830-432, which is a long day but again 4 day work week. It makes the calendar so much easier to manage too. Potentially by the end of year I will feel differently but right now, this is AWESOME stuff.

Some Cons:
Childcare - butttt what about districts on year round? Right? Plus it is only one day of full day childcare - which is sometimes a holiday anyway because I have Monday's off not Friday's - not to mention that snow and other weather are awesome at coming in on a Monday instead of mid week too.
Time - we all complain we never have the time, and a 4 day week cuts that time but, the ME time - yall we need that time to recharge and reconnect with ourselves and our families
These are really the two big ones I can think of.
Like I said so far I am loving the 4 day week.
