[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of you have some nerve. Sorry everything isn’t working out perfectly during a pandemic. Sorry there are changes as admin and teachers and the committee try to find their way in a colossal mess of a situation, figuring out the path forward to balance everyone’s needs and safety. Sorry you find yourselves struggling in the same exact situation as so much of the country, with kids distance learning, while you try to work. And how dare you say the teachers are lazy! That is unconscionable! I’m am SHOCKED that some of you are part of this community to begin with, because you don’t seem like you have the values or perspective of a Burgundy family. [/quote]

It would have been helpful for admin to communicate any of this to parents prior to 3 weeks before the start of the school year. Apparently, admin and teachers knew that what was being said at the zoom 2 weeks ago and what has been said in numerous other communications with parents would not actually happen.

I believe I do have the values and perspective of a Burgundy family. I value open and clear communication. Burgundy is not holding up their end of the bargain. Parents feel blindsided and are frustrated. No one thought this would work out perfectly. This is a pandemic. Everything is a disaster. That being said, if anyone could do it, Burgundy could do it. They told parents they were going in person 5 days a week up until this week with plans for temp checks, staggered arrivals and divided classrooms broken into smaller cohorts. Then today they release an entirely new plan that has nothing to do with what we have seen previously. Moreover, this plan includes a ridiculous half day period of in person education which seems to only be feasible for the stay at home parents of the community. That is not effective or transparent communication. [/quote]
