Healthcare workers were the first to get vaccinated, but you can't have healthcare at all without power and water. I have a co-worker who lost his mom and dad to Covid-19. So teachers want to jump the line. Not fair.

Teachers are exposed to hundreds of children in the course of a day. Each of those children are exposed to thier parents and siblings, who are exposed to others...on and on ...
To keep children safe and get parents away from remote home schooling, so they can get back to work while the children resume their schooling, it is important that teachers get vaccinated.
Covid has killed so many people all over the world. There has to be some order in thevaccination process.
We need to all be patient and practice logical ways to protect ourselves until this pandemic subsides.
If every day people took this pandemic seriously, it would not have spread so rapidly to kill so many people. Especially when COVID first hit NYC, where thousands of covid corpses were stored in refrigeration trucks. That was enough warning for what was in store for us. But people just did not protect themselves and one another enough.
Now we know better.

I think its because they do daily interaction with a bunch of unruly kids who are famous in history for being virus spreaders. They are the ultimate essential workers because they are with our kids every day. What is wrong with you? and if we want our kids in school in person as they should be, its logical that you vaccinate the teachers. Make sense now?

Your 1st mistake is expecting LOGIC to be involved in POLITICAL decisions.
Your 2nd is thinking your co-worker's parent's death has ANYTHING to do with the question.
Nekkid Truth!
Because kids CANNOT get vaccinated yet. Giving the vaccines to teachers and school employees enables us to open schools up.
Many parents have been unable to return to work because their children are at home. Reopening schools is a major step towards normalcy.
Not all jobs have you working in close contact with others. The guy fixing your power lines, for example, is up on a boom lift by himself.. well distanced away from his partner (IF he is even working with a partner).
A risk assessment is taken into consideration when deciding who is next in line for vaccines. It's based on who is more likely to contract or spread the disease. It's not based on who's job is more essential.
No one is "jumping the line"

Two other co-workers of mine lost their mom. And teachers wine? Loved ones die around my co-workers and we are the last to get vaccinated. Maybe our immune system is strong because we are around people. Teachers are around kids. Their immune systems should be strong too.
