Whitney Independent School District in Texas recently decided to enact a 4-day week heading into the 2025 school year .
American kids have fewer school days than most other major countries.
The idea is meant to lure teachers back to work and recruit the next generation of teachers.
The effect on students' achievement is still unclear.
This will inevitably end with some kids getting way more screentime.
Working 4 days is definitely a win for teachers that makes the job more appealing.
But it doesn't address systemic issues that are driving them to quit, retire early or give up their dreams of teaching.
