[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe anyone still believes that we are going on campus on any sort of consistent basis this entire year. Yes. There will be “experiences” the kids are out for the year without a vaccine. Period. You’ve got to move on and make other arrangements. For your own sanity.[/quote]

Can't stay locked up forever...and who is going to rush out to get a brand new vaccine that spent less than 2 years in the making when it normally takes 10-15 years.  This shutting everything down until there is vaccine is nuts.  The clinical trials may fail, the vaccine may be no more effective than the flu vaccine and good look convincing a large number of people to take the first doses. I am not at all ant-vaccination, but I am anti-rushing science.  And I have lost a elderly family member to Covid, so I get it.  But I also get that children cannot live locked away forever in fear - uneducated.   Look at the Nursing home situation in New York.  Our society is obsessed with protecting the least vulnerable to this illness while ignoring and killing the most vulnerable.  [/quote]

[b]Tell that to the teachers. They want a vaccine before they return to in person school.[/b][/quote]

If that's true, the school should close now. Because it's going to be a while. [/quote]

I don't think that's what the teachers one, otherwise they wouldn't be planning a hybrid return for the first week of October.[/quote]

Are they really planning for that or just appeasing parents by saying that? What is going to change to make teachers feel better in October?[/quote]

They want a gradual return to campus so students can get acclimated and learn new protocols, get used to wearing a mask all day, etc.[/quote]

Is that really want the teachers want? Or are they just stalling?[/quote]

It's quite possilbe that there is something going on between admin and teachers that we don't know about... however, I know Burgundy teachers and there is no way that they are stalling or being intentionally misleading. They are caring and dedicated teachers. [/quote]

Hahahahaha they are so caring and dedicated they threw a temper tantrum about going back to work and abandoned their students. [/quote]

No, they didn't. Administation failed to properly communicate with and lead. They didn't involve teachers early enough in the process. The teachers are not refusing to go back to work. Many of them have spent a great deal of their unpaid summers both on and off campus making preparations for a return. This is a leadership problem and the teachers are taking the heat. Not cool and I -- someone who knows many of them very well -- will continue to defend them.

100% correct[/quote]

It does sound like a leadership misstep. So what is a solution? How do we safely get teachers and students back on campus?

If some think that is not possible, what is the solution for kids to get an education? In my personal situation, I don't even know if my kid will be able to do DL. My partner and I both work and we don't telecommute full-time. I need to put my 6 YO into childcare and he won't be able to do DL from there consistently. Burgundy needs to help us come up with a solution. What is it?
