I know this is typical for the US so this is more for US people to respond to. I wouldn't say that it is the best system for work, just wondering about the disconnect.

How about we eliminate homework and switch to a 32 hour (or whatever) work week...

    A lot of rural districts are going down to 4 day school days (although some are 10 hour days) in an attempt to attract teachers.

    Not sure how well that is going for families, given that it's difficult to have one parent at home when the kids are home an extra day.

    As a teacher I 100% support this, it would be much better for teachers and students. It won't happen though unless parents are also given a 4 day work week so they can look after their kids.
