Lots of teachers are old and/or vulnerable. Lots of people who work or volunteer at the schools are old and/or vulnerable. Lots of parents are old and/or vulnerable. Lots of grandparents - same. And then all of the people those people interact with. Children do not exist in a vacuum. This is the point.

lots of teachers are young. Lots of people who work at schools are young. Let the old stay home, there is no reason to keep the young and healthy home. Again what are you going to do if we dont get vaccines?

"one in four teachers (24%, or about 1.47 million people), have a condition that puts them at higher risk of serious illness from coronavirus. This percentage is the same as the one we found for workers overall" Let the old stay home How will the 1.47 million teachers mentioned above pay their bills and put food on the table? Again what are you going to do if we dont get vaccines? That's what everyone is trying to figure out. Telling the old and frail to quarantine themselves just isn't the answer, because old and and frail people work for a living, and live with relatives who have children, and live alone but have family members that come to care for them, etc. etc.

    the old and frail teachers can teach from home for some of the classes. its still 75% who are not in danger and even among the 25% there are still many who would teach anyway. Of course its the answer to tell the old and frail to quarantine just like we are now. putting the eorld to a stop is what is not an answer
