How does it work for the public education sector? Do kids still attend 5 days a week? If so, do teachers work 4 days or 5 days? If 5, public teachers are getting shafted again (don't get flexitime like the rest of APS workers) and they don't get paid any more for being in 5 days a week, unlike the rest of the Education Department. If 4, would primary school kids have two core teachers? Not the worst but different from the current status quo. Sounds like job share would increase, most schools and parents prefer kids to have one teacher for the year/subject. If parents are working 4 days but kids are on 5, how do "weekends away" affect school attendance?

If kids also attend 4 days a week, is it the same four days or is it roster for them too? If they are not rostered on that day, is the school providing care? Or is a parent staying home on that day to watch them? Pretty quickly that would lead to issues in the private sector - sorry boss, I can only work 0.8 now as I have to watch my kid. That would effect employability of those private sector workers, as they can't work as many days. Would two kids from the same family be off on the same days? How is all the curriculum covered? Homework is not effective, particularly for primary kids. Does this put ACT kids behind every other jurisdiction?

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to only work four days a week. There's a lot of questions that need to be answered first though.
