[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]There is so much outdoor space to take advantage of. Other progressive private schools in other areas have done things like construct outdoor structures for learning, purchasing desks to be used outside, etc. (it's unfathomable that this wasn't thought at Burgundy, not sure if it was)[/quote]

Sorry, but if Alexandria Soccer Association can offer outdoor virtual school support/babysitting, why can't Burgundy offer outdoor school?  I've seen what ASA does - outdoor tables with one kid per table, under individual tents, with wireless connections.  Doesn't seem that complicated.[/quote]

Because teachers are special snowflakes [/quote]

It is leadership's job to lead. Listen to their fears, address the concerns effectively, and communicate openly with the community. Instead they've chosen to ignore the problem and discourage communication. Seems more appropriate of a military academy than a beloved progressive school. Leadership is not in sync with what should be the values the school lives by. [/quote]

We can't seem to get anyone to tell us what the actual problem is. As a parent, I feel very much in the dark regarding what the real deciding factor is regarding whether we go on campus in October or not. When we ask the question, we get spin. Rumor is that leadership did not involve teachers in the process early enough, and there aren't enough teachers who feel safe coming on campus... but then leadership tells us (in front of teachers) that teachers are willing and able to come on campus "today" and that the deciding factor is something else.

My head is spinning and I really wish someone would very clearly tell us the truth.
