[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not nice to say leave — I suspect it was a reaction to the others who said they would leave and take their fees elsewhere, and to people not giving an inch no matter the objective reality. But on the consensus, it’s almost like we aren’t at the same school. I trust the school to run the school. To me, that there was no immediate discussion after we knew we would go back in the DL meant that we reached the consensus and not that we were merely waiting to overturn it. I take from this perception gap that we should all talk and listen more and earlier. Leaving how we define consensus aside, what is the big deal with going with the DL in the US in December and January given the record number of cases? Why is there such a collective anxiety over having the HL continue and constant pressure for teachers to be teaching in person no matter the community spread, in the US? We all know we’ll reopen as soon as it’s safe. I really struggle to understand the angst. Parents of younger children seem better able to persuasively enumerate their reasons, albeit as a parent I would still be cautious. I would always advocate for a space on campus for anyone that needs to be on campus but it might be a mixed space. And this is not about risk averse types; we’ve been through the Swine Flu etc. and knew it was not the same. Many parents at our school still work from home, because most leading global businesses and law firms don’t think it’s safe to return. So why the US kids? A whole generation graduated online last year, and started college remotely. So, I really think we should find reasons to be thankful too, to the school and for each other. [/quote]

How do you define “safe to reopen?”  The MAT says it’s safe now, and yet here my kids go for another day on Zoom [/quote]
