Seems to have the fifth part spelled out in the last paragraph, to the extent that it could be spelled out.I feel like this is another example of "those less careful" having an advantage over those "more frum".

Is that a psak?
You planned an awesome trip to MLE and 11 days before the trip comes rebbetzin flo.On the topic of the ocean, a Rav once told me he'd rather have a woman go during day 8 than going to a dark ocean at night.
You can't change the dates or get all the awards lined up again.
Do you cancel the trip or ask your LOR about using the ocean on night 1?

I'm not asking this to be insensitive, but merely to have a better understanding. There are quite a few members on this thread who seem to have a clear or implicit bias toward this matter. Some are biased because they themselves or a family member runs or works for a school. Some were simply (B"H) unaffected by Covid, and have no problem making judgements on "yenems cheshbon". Yet others consider themselves to be righteous and saintly, and demand that we all give everything up.FYI I have no school age kids.
Almost every industry outside of essentials (and even some essential industries) have had to make compromises, layoffs and paycuts.
Hundreds of millions of restaurant owners, salons, repair shops, dealerships and more have had to close their doors and suspend operations. Doctors are being forced to see less patients, and lawyers are having to postpone cases. There is no doubt that tens of thousands, if not millions of school parents are among these people.
Schools are CLOSED. They are compromising by providing online classes which I am very grateful for. Nontheless, the classes are still not what a physical class would be, not nearly as many hours as physical class would be, and require the parents to be involved every day with tech support.
I reject the notion that the parents, many of whom have lost their jobs or have been forced to take pay cuts, are responsible to continue paying into the school the same amount so that they can keep its' doors open AFTER Covid. As I see it, if parents have to take pay cuts, so do the teachers. I don't understand why schools feel completely immune to dealing with the consequences of Covid, when almost everyone else has to deal with it.
The stories about how parents would sell the shirts off their backs to pay a melamed were for the melamed to learn with the boys a certain number of hours in person. If the melamed in those stories would cut his hours, the parents would cut their pay accordingly.
Contrary to how this comes across, I don't have any beef with my childrens' schools or their teachers. (well, I do with some teachers, but that's a different discussion). I am not asking schools to forgo tuition. I am asking them to be proactively upfront with the parents. Some have done this. Most have not. I don't appreciate them taking for granted that they may continue charging my credit card as if all is normal.
Sounds like the "Its a halacha question and don't do anything unilaterally" was only meant in one direction.ummmmm.......
That is only if you look at the school as a fee for service and you child's chinuch as a product.Please explain alternate ways of viewing the schools role in your child’s chinuch.
All I can say about this topic is that seeing and hearing my kids learning this week, just increased my appreciation to their schools and teachers, and my motivation to pay tuition.1000%, most teachers are extremely selfless and devoted.
