[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] So, please offer a solution for me on how I am supposed to work full-time while teaching my 1st grader? Part of what is missing from communications is empathy from parents. My child will likely not get a real education this year, but I am bound by contract to pay for it anyway, leaving me with no money to pay for childcare or some other solution.

What should I do?[/quote]

Single working Burgundy parent here.  I think what you should do is accept that this is a global pandemic, that things may get worse before they get better, and that it's not up to Burgundy to figure out how we working parents are going to manage all this.  Yes, it sucks!  Yes, we're in an impossible situation. No, that's not Burgundy's fault. [b] Burgundy can't solve this for us.  [/b]

There are no good answers.  That's the nature of emergencies -- they're terrible.  And it's normal and natural to be furious about it.  But we need to be rational and to stop getting mad at Burgundy for being unable to find a magical answer that will make everyone happy.

(Has Burgundy handled this perfectly?  Nope.  Has anyone?  Nope.  And I bet you $5 that all those private schools that are managing somehow to open end up closing right back down before September's out.)[/quote]
