I love 4 day weeks- because of the 3 day weekend. I start the week with a better frame of mind when I have 2 days to catch up around the house and a full day of rest/meal prep/time to myself. I can never seem to get it all done on. 2 day weekend! 3 days off is the best!

My problem is that I tend just add more stuff into my weekend because I think I have more time to do stuff.
I agree… short weeks are the worst. I happy to honor our veterans but next week will be the worst. Behaviors in the middle school seem more prevalent during a short week and I feel like I’m trying to squeeze in a five day work week into four days. I know I don’t have to squeeze the work in and that I’m doing it to myself but I can’t help myself. Ugh!!

Obe of my students was complaining about 4-day weeks yesterday. He is typically not a complainer but oh my, he was fussing!
It's funny, a four-day weeks does just seem odd. It throws off my natural rhythm or something. Maybe it's that thing where I'll think on Tuesday that it's Monday, and on Wednesday I'll think it's Tuesday. By the time I seem to know what day it is, and I feel like my routines aren't being disrupted, the week is half over.

This is so true! I guess it just shows that we are truly creatures of habit! This week with being out for Election Day, really messed me up. School on Monday, out on Tuesday- I don't think I ever adapted this week😒.
I teach in a 4-day week title 1 Prekindergarten program. The teachers don’t have a daily 50 minute prep. However, we get the entire day Friday to prep, have parent meetings and teacher training, by the time Friday comes I’m completely exhausted both mentally and physically! I think it might be better to have a daily prep (free from students), versus saving the prep until Friday!

See, that is what I think would be the down side of being on 4-day week every week. Admin would find some reason to add extra responsibilities and meetings.
I had a pd day one week and chaperoned a field trip one week. I am stressed to the max with what is left undone.

I agree that that is the stressful thing about these wonderful events!
My school has gone to 4-day weeks. Each day is longer to compensate. I am far more tired on 4-day weeks than I was on 5-day weeks!!

Do teachers still have to show up and be at the school on the 5th day?
Most Definitely!!!!!
