Can boarding schools survive coronavirus?

I think BSs will survive Covid, but ask me again after the election.

Unfortunately, this will hit the students who need the most, and it’s absolutely devastating when you think about it . All schools really need trusts and individual donors to step up big now, but ( in their defense ) Our Country has never had full on socialism on a big party platform before, so people are obviously doing what’s best for their families and their bottomline , and they’re planning for it.

It is what it is- and we’ll see what happens. The last real threat to BS was Jimmy Carter, so we had a good run! I wish I was kidding!!

And BTW - this post isn’t meant to be political ( I really don’t care who or what you vote for because that’s your business ) , so please don’t make it into something it’s not.

I disagree with your statement “our Country has never had full on socialism on a big party platform before”, with respect to whether that big party’s platform could be characterized as “socialism”.

What is your definition of “full on socialism”?

One of our “big parties” definitely has a platform we’ve never seen before, and we are living it, daily.

As someone who sits on the board of the endowment of a non-boarding private school, there is indeed a lot of uncertainty for donors and trusts, but let’s be careful how we attribute that uncertainty.
