What would happen if we moved to a 4 day week?

Presumably schools would also move to a 4 day week? With much less holiday? I think this is on the cards in the next 20 years or so. Presumably if children were to receive the same number of teaching hours per year, we would have to lose about 8 weeks holiday time?

There would no longer be any teachers.

Haha. Well, yes, that's what I thought. The job would be much less attractive without the holidays.

I don't think this one will happen, as each employee's four days would be different, so schools will stay as they are.

A 4 day week with shorter holidays would be my absolute dream! I wouldn't spend the holidays ill after being burnt out by such a brutal term time. I think it would be amazing. I'd much prefer a 3 day weekend to keeping the current set up.

As someone who already works four days, I don't want it to change. I want to keep my four days and the holidays!!

I think it would have to be longer days too. Currently 40 weeks in a school year. That means you would need 10 weeks less holiday to catch up. Sounds pretty terrible!

I do it already. I had to take a £5k pay cut (or £15k if you compare what my FTE in the current job would be). Not sure that is realistic all round tbh.

The thought of shorter holidays is incredibly depressing. I don't want a 4 day week thanks
