[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Burgundy parents who are upset with this decision: has anyone at the school even acknowledged our feelings?[/quote]

Minimally by HOS. Not at all by lower school head. Even the barest acknowledgement that parents have been scrambling to work and parent full time for the past 5 months and that we were really looking forward to the promise of Burgundy's expansive campus which facilitates safe education during a pandemic would be helpful. Parents are disappointed that we are now on the hook for 32k of zoom classes.

Many parents do not have flexible work schedules which enable them to act as zoom facilitators and many cannot work at home. The school has not effectively acknowledged that this swift about face means that Burgundy is not feasible for families whose jobs are not flexible enough to manage zooms, lunch prep, and recess while working a full time job. Many parents must work outside the home, and have implemented stop-gap measures to do so during the summer, with the repeated assurances that school would open.

Yes, it is a pandemic, but communicating uncertainty would have gone a long way toward helping those families plan for the upcoming school year. Letting those families out of their contracts is the right thing to do. [/quote]
