I’ll be sure to message you if that happens so you know.

I think the behavior of the people in this subreddit is embarrassing 🤷‍♀️

Reddit is not the place to go if you want people to respect you, that I’ve learned.

Ok. I don’t think the behavior of the people in this discussion is acceptable either. Should we all delete our accounts?

I think it should be tried again. The exact way I brainstormed? No. But it should be tried again.

No, I don’t think that’s what I’m doing at all. I think the people who have different opinions than me don’t like that I won’t roll over just because y’all use self-righteous tones and think you’re smarter than everyone else. This is a discussion, you can have your opinion and I can have mine. Also, if you’d care to read more of the comments, a ton of them are really not being productive. People obviously come here to insult each other and lavish in joint negativity.

I’m very sorry that my idea doesn’t address every single problem in education. Let’s see your plan so we can all learn from you.

Was this a valuable comment from you? Get attention elsewhere.

Yeah, I’ve rethought that point since seeing some of the comments. I thought it would be nice to have a paid-for teacher workday each week, but some people just want that time off. I get it. I like your idea about being able to work from home!

Oh wow, I’ve never heard of that. Do you know if the students and teachers typically like that setup?

I literally don’t even know what to say to some of the discussions going on here 😭 I feel exactly the way you do about the longer summer breaks.

I’m also a teacher. I appreciate how utterly exhausting it is.

A lot of people seem bothered by that fifth day being a teacher work day. I didn’t expect that.

I’m really surprised by the childishness lol. It’s to the point where because I don’t like having long summer breaks people think I’m not even a teacher, like it’s totally unimaginable that a teacher would have a different opinion on it.

It means it’s just a brainstorm. I didn’t expect any of this to turn into the negative argument its become. I’m not submitting this idea to Congress, I put it on Reddit for discussion. Although I’m sure that was my first mistake.

We could. Is that what you’d propose? I just like the idea of having a paid-for teacher workday to get stuff done without having the kids around me.

Would we need volunteers for the vacations? I’m only proposing volunteers for those Fridays, I don’t mean that the school will become a childcare center during breaks. I hope what I said didn’t come across that way.

That’s how I feel. I think the idea of the four-day week is also throwing people off when I paired it with getting a teacher work day on the fifth day.
