They are the most important part in all of our children's lives when it comes to their education. And I'm sick and tried of teachers getting the short end of the stick all the time. They are very much under appreciated way to much. It's time to put them first for once for god sake.

They are essential workers and the amount of people they come in contact with everyday could really spread the virus quickly, or increase the number of people/teachers needing to quarantine thus also leading to school teacher shortages.

Children are the least likely to transmit the Covid-19 virus. The teachers are no more essential than those at Taco Bell or Mc Donald's.

Missouri leaders say the state's plan is meant to help the most vulnerable -- people over age 65 and those with certain health conditions -- by giving them priority. Teachers are next in line after those groups. Show Less

All workers right now should be able to get the vaccine. Teachers shouldn't take priority over everyone else who's working in a physical sense right now. Factory workers, grocery store workers, cab drivers, custodians, teachers, & all workers should get it at the same time.

I do not have faith in the vaccine

It would be nice to have Snow like we did when I was a kid back in the 80' we had heavy snows and maybe it would help against the sickness we all are having. It's been a long time since we had a heavy snow or bad winter but it would do the ground some good!!!

Ann Hamlin

Snow is pretty.

Max DeYoung

A good, heavy snow will cut down on drive by shootings. Columbia needs that.

The report should go where Hilary's emails are.

Max DeYoung

The Ethics report was a failed frame job, and it proves his innocence.

Max DeYoung

It also exposes a lot of dishonest Representatives. Most of the House wants to keep this secret.

Robert Walter

His behavior and character matters.
