HK Closes Kindergartens and Primary Schools H1N1

i didn't receive anything, but i'm not registered as a school.(if what you offer is "interest based course" you don't need to be)

So you ladies all going to stay at home with your children for the next two weeks? Surely that would be the next step.

If schools are closed, what about our neighbours children? Best not to take the elevator either. In case someone in your building has it. In fact ANYONE in Hong Kong may have H1N1 too. So best to do online shopping. And not allow your helper her day off cause she may mingle with someone, right?

Yeah I'm being ridiculous. Sort of. If one is really concerned, one should quarantine our family, not lecture others.....

Can't agree with you more but then are you doing everything as usual except sending your girls to school??

The mandarin playgroup they attend (Yi Fan) is staying open so at least they have something to do Saturday mornings.....

And yes if Mygym is open we'll go to that. I'm also taking them out to Playtown and Wisekids. It's raining and will be for a few days so indoor activities :(
 
Checked with Woodland playgroup and replied that no refund and no make up class...they are operated such a commercial organisation, no flexibility at all!!! Also, you have to pay a term fee and 2 months notice for not continue the term.
 
I really don't think individual schools and teachers should be obliged to deliver a service when the government has suspended classes. At least it's only a couple of weeks (at the moment).

After all, schools still have to pay staff, maintainence, rent etc etc.

It's not any more the schools' fault than a black rainstorm.
 
Babybuddies is not closing either and what annoys me is the reason they gave for not closing:
"In regards to the information provided by the government today (11th June) regarding the swine flu and the closure of schools, it does not include Baby Buddies. Baby Buddies will continue to operate classes as normal and therefore there will be no suspension of classes as we are an independent establishment. "
I don't know how and why they are considering themseves different from any other school. Its clear that their decision is highly motivated by money and shows total disregard for the well being of their students.
