    Yes, but teachers and school admin staff have a choice in that they can get a job elsewhere if they don't like the arrangements.

    Families have no choice in that children have to go to school.

    They have a choice whether to have kids or not in the first place.

    Reduce the summer break to four weeks, reduce Easter to no more than 7 working days. Cancel the 4 days off at the end of May.

    Then have a 2 week holiday late Sept/Oct and a 2 week holiday in June.
