[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They aren’t planning on going back, it’s not even on the table. Just a hunch.  It’s embarrassing. The one school in the area that’s suppose to be the “outside all day school” can’t get their sh*t together.  They are waiting for flu season and cold weather to bring people back... please[/quote]

It is mind boggling. Is it the board, administration or teachers responsible for this mayhem?[/quote]

Teachers are freaked out and admin is at fault for poor response to teacher concerns. [/quote]

What are their concerns and how can we help mitigate them? What was the administration's response? We are desperate for information so we can help. We're supposed to be a community, but our hands are tied right now and it does not feel good.[/quote]

I am a former teacher and have lots of friends still teaching in the schools and what they've all talked about is testing.  If schools can find a way to regularly and consistently test everyone who is on campus they would feel a lot more comfortable.

I am a parent of two kids who attend a different independent school and this is also what it would take for me to feel comfortable with sending my kids back to school.

(DH and I also believe the schools are doing the right thing by staying closed right now.)

So unless the school puts together a way to regularly test everyone, teachers won't be coming back on campus in October? Jeff told us that teachers are "ready and willing to come on campus today" during one of our group Zoom meetings (a few teachers were present).[/quote]

I don't know about Burgundy teachers, but my teacher friends (not at Burgundy) have expressed this.  There are schools in the DMV that are testing.

And to the poster who said the fear is irrational, it is anything but irrational.  There is still so much that is unknown about covid and if you're one of the unlucky ones to get it bad, you could (God forbid) die or be left with long term complications.

Teachers HATE distance learning- trust me.  It is 500 million times more extra work with little reward.  Teachers are not out to screw students or parents here. [/quote]
