learning that you can get through your county for free — I would not pay that either. So withdraw. But teachers do not have to risk dying because you do not want to balance working, children at home, and their education. You are not special.

Everyone who has school-age children is trying to manage remote learning this year. I can understand not wanting to pay $35k for online learning that you can get through your county for free — I would not pay that either. So withdraw. But teachers do not have to risk dying because you do not want to balance working, children at home, and their education. You are not special.

I’m sorry that they couldn’t figure things out - that sucks - they have so much outdoor space and the foundation of using a lot of the outdoor space already with summer camp (that kids previously attended). I’m sorry to hear.



Take it back. But no spot for you when it’s over. Good luck.

We'll live. Believe it or not, Burgundy Farm is not essential to our family's health or happiness. It's a nice to have, not a need.

Minimally by HOS. Not at all by lower school head. Even the barest acknowledgement that parents have been scrambling to work and parent full time for the past 5 months and that we were really looking forward to the promise of Burgundy's expansive campus which facilitates safe education during a pandemic would be helpful. Parents are disappointed that we are now on the hook for 32k of zoom classes.

Many parents do not have flexible work schedules which enable them to act as zoom facilitators and many cannot work at home. The school has not effectively acknowledged that this swift about face means that Burgundy is not feasible for families whose jobs are not flexible enough to manage zooms, lunch prep, and recess while working a full time job. Many parents must work outside the home, and have implemented stop-gap measures to do so during the summer, with the repeated assurances that school would open.

Yes, it is a pandemic, but communicating uncertainty would have gone a long way toward helping those families plan for the upcoming school year. Letting those families out of their contracts is the right thing to do.

Administration caved to pressure from teachers. It is a leadership failure. They failed to involve, rally, and lead the teachers. Must speak to long-standing communication and leadership from administration to teachers.
