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

I don't think no one ever is . Plus like the town ( Moberly) the city doesn't do their part in trimming back trees or removing dead trees . Or homeowners don't do the same . So when the storms come that's why there are power outages. Or you have ameren in a dispute on what trees they cut on lines .

Belinda Kitchen

Because they only cut trees off the main high line so it's job security when the trees fall on power lines they come out and fix them . The city won't trim trees back out of the lines at all . It's up to homeowners now really but yet they go down the alleys spraying for weeds ?
