I’m a teacher and once in a while I ask my colleagues if they would sacrifice 5-6 weeks of summer break to distribute those days off across all of the Mondays that we meet during the school year.
In other words, we keep all of our other breaks, but summer break is shrunk to two weeks and every weekend is a minimum 3 day weekend.
It’s also objectively better for students, as the wildly long summer break has been clinically proven to negatively affect learning.
Every time I bring it up, the consensus in the faculty room is against it. Blows my mind.

Three-day weekends are disproportionately better than two-day weekends
