[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just got an email from the head:

If it is safe to do so, WFCH will be reopening on March 30th, 2020.  We have made the decision to do so in order to support our working families and to offer a sense of normalcy and safety to our students. Due to the changing circumstances and different opening criteria, we are no longer strictly following MCPS emergency closings. Instead, we will be making this  decision in conjunction with CDC, Montgomery County Department Of Health and Human                    Services, and local education and health authorities.

This is insane!!! How can you ensure social distancing among toddlers and young kids?! Where does she place the safety of the kids and teachers?! What can parents and teachers do? Btw, she is not refunding the two weeks close and there was NO online class![/quote]

Here's the deal. They are banking on YOU (parents) CHOOSING to not send kids to the school. If they are "open", they can charge you tuition and it is your call whether or not you use the service you are paying for. Same idea is when your family goes on vacation - you choose what days you are just not going to be at the school and you pay tuition anyway.

If they are closed, they are going to be forced (maybe by lawsuits, parent pressure, or other means) to not charge tuition.

They are choosing the shifty way out so they can make families make the hard choice. That tells me all I need to know about the school and its leadership.[/quote]

I didn't even think about that! How slimy.[/quote]

If they don't charge tuition when they do reopen, they will not be able to reopen as their rent, utilities and teachers need to be paid.  They will get evicted if they don't pay (and how do they catch up in paying rent) and teachers will find other jobs so you will not have child care to go back to.  They are in a no win situation.
