The OP is a sad manifestation of how stressed many in the tzibur are and in ways that those of us who are fortunate enough not to have economic challenges really don’t comprehend. Sadly, those involved in chinuch at our yeshivas, day-schools, BJs etc. are also among those likely to be economically challenged. Teaching is one of the lowest paid professions and those working in religious schools generally earn even less than the median salary of public school teachers in the same area. They also have families, mortgages and tuition and the same pressures as the OP author. Most, although not all, are still working and find creative ways to continue instruction for families who may not have easy access to broadband and computers or PDAs. Our yeshivos are financially stressed in the best of times and even more so now. Many will have to incur significantly higher costs to address new realities once the schools are allowed to open.
Now is not the time to bash our mosdos for not being more efficient or finding ways to reduce administrative overhead that has been a problem for years.
