i assume this is good news but fuck everything about this headline

All it talks about is about how the woman has a better life working 4 days instead of 5. I don’t know that we really needed a whole article to explain that.

You mean when you let people work less for the same pay they're happier? I would never imagine that, such a "dramatic" result.

I don’t think this is as shocking as that headline wants it to be.

Other countries have proven this repeatedly, along with the fact that forced static learning and homework at young ages isn’t the way. Learning through play is far more effective.

Good luck convincing the old boots that make the decisions these days though.
