Shitty part is where the tuition has to be paid in full already and you only get half or less back at this point if you decide not to enroll. If we go online, no chance we pay like that without some different policy in regards to this next year.
....I'm not sure what they would do in that instance...I do know this...private schools aren't in the business of giving refunds. Now whether than change that policy on how much you can get back if you don't enroll who knows...but if I had to bet on it....I'd err on the side of it not changing.
ETA It would be hard as hell for me to pay full tuition up front right now knowing that there is at least a 50% chance that we are right back where we were in April come September....I'm guessing that is probably where a lot of parents stand so maybe they will change the policy to get people to sign up, but then again that tution basically pays the bills so they need that money...who knows

Some teachers need to be quitting

My guess is that they need the money locked in for their operating budget. I can’t imagine there’s much margin for error in the budget, and that’s why they do it that way. With that being said, in the spring of 2021 with over a year to plan a lower cost option, they should at least have some contingency plans in place, or they risk losing students which in turn hurts more.

IMO that’s the biggest hurdle to fully in-person instruction. Teachers and staff are going to likely get sick even if it’s not severe. Most states already had a substitute teacher shortage before COVID-19. And at least here, most subs are retired teachers who are likely not going to return to in person
Teaches should intentionally expose themselves to the virus now so they won’t have to worry about it in August

This type of learning is impossible for elementary and middle school kids and based on the evidence of hospitalizations and spread of and from kids, should not even be considered.
I wasn't complaining -- just stating what I saw the local Catholic hs is doing. And I said that it was better that it was that age rotating days than the younger grades.

But the teachers really care about the children. Yeah, right!
Once again, Einstein, teachers don’t have a voice in these decisions.

Amen. This is why I switched from lump sum to monthly over the summer for my kids at St. George.

This school year is going to suck terribly, at least for awhile. LSU Lab where my daughter goes is planning to offer two days of in class instruction with the other three being virtual. Besides the whole parent/work scenario, it's going to put kids behind. Guess I better get ready to teach 5th grade in between work meetings.

For Kindergarten and 1st grade this will be two lost years. You can’t distance learn or do zoom in for kids that little. Being in the classroom is essential for them.
I have a son going to 2nd and he's not going to be able to do it at that age either, I have a 4th going to 5th and I think 3rd-4th is the grade when distance learning starts to be effective.
Also, St. Landry Parish where I reside is planning on going back K-4th grade face to face, 5 days a week, and 5-12 the hybrid A group (half capacity) 2 days on, disinfect on Wed, and the B group Thurs-Fri, with the days the kids are at home watching a live feed.
It's not perfect but a 5-6th grade kid can stay home with the correct setup so it makes more since.
I have a feeling it's not going to make it to that, bc our Region (Acadiana) is blowing UP in cases and hospitalizations.
Time will tell.
Below is the data from Acadiana in regards to COVID-19 hospitalizaions. Can you tell when we closed and when we opened and went to stage 2?

What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

Unfortunately they don’t offer a monthly payment plan at our school.
