[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The situation at Burgundy is entirely the responsibility of the HOS and not at all at the feet of teachers. Teachers spent the last several months trying to get administrators to work with them to plan for the fall. There is no safe plan for in-person school at this point because the admin didn't collaborate with the experts - the teachers - on how to implement school on campus. It's disgusting that teachers are being thrown under the bus. They aren't lazy. Virtual learning requires significantly more work, especially when trying to apply a progressive lens to it. I agree that it's a very difficult ask to charge $35K in tuition for virtual learning, especially when the appeal of Burgundy is the campus. The mistake is laying this at the feet of teachers. It's inaccurate and unjustified. [/quote]

I agree and I will defend our teachers. I think it's just a few vocal bad apples on this thread who are blaming teachers. I admit that I was initially frustrated when I heard that the on-campus plans changed at the last minute because of staffing issues. However, I didn't understand the whole story at the time.

To all the Burgundy teachers: our children adore you, and we love you! Thank you for all you do, and I am so, so sorry that you are in this position. The vast majority of us do not feel the way as these few bad apples.[/quote]
