Most public schools in Missouri are having in-person classes to some degree, often in settings where social distancing is not possible. Teachers argue they should be a higher priority given their risk of exposure in crowded classrooms. Show Less

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

If they charge us, pick it up. We paid the bill for 10 months with no service.

Max DeYoung

Absolutely. Recycling is good, even if it's being thrown away. Decisions like this, is what has made Columbia what it is today.

Zaos Gonzolez

Recycling shouldn't have to exist. Products should be made to last for entire lifetimes, not single uses.

A local municipality should not hold a monopoly over its citizens. Imagine how many new businesses would start up if trash services were privatized?

Kimberley Brewer

Waste of time & truck fuel to send 2 different trucks every couple weeks when it’s all going to the same place! Just pick up all of it every week with 1 truck. Also, residents want to know exactly which types of our previously recycled materials actually were going into the landfill anyway?
