Yes you are. So much for strong start and robust distance learning program. And so much for going back early. This whole week is a nothing burger.


I thought it was a normal day. Where did you see this?

Which class / cohort? The 7th graders have class on 9/11.

There is one special for 45 minutes per day 4 days a week. One day a week there are 2 specials, 90 minutes. Something is not adding up.


Lots of things don’t add up about Burgundy right now. Like the fact that a progressive nature-based school
Opted to have kids sit at screens all day.


Not even all day. 2-3 hours a day.


And some of the required screen time for middle school is GRADED MANDATORY PE. Makes no sense. Send them outside!

PP, the schedule need not add up if kids are not actually planned to go back.

They aren’t the only private not open. But given their campus and student size and philosophy they are one of the few not open who really should be open, and parents are pissed about it (rightfully so).

It’s not so much the “deception” of just this year it’s more that they built their whole identity on being this school that embraces nature and outdoor learning and when push came to show they decided against doing it. It will be a hurdle for sure and will definitely have some potential parents who will be less sold on the school now that it’s clear that doesn’t hold up.


Exactly. How is that your promotion tactic when at a time it would make sense, you forego. Meanwhile, other privates in Alexandria, VA have a smaller campus and opened.
