Message: <blockquote data-quote="Umbran" data-source="post: 8174897" data-attributes="member: 177">I'm not.  First, take the context - vaccine administration has been slow.  I'd be unsurprised to learn that may be weeks or months before they get through all the staff of the school system.  If it takes one weekend to go through all of them, then I retract my disagreement.  I am noting that, given the bottlenecks in administering vaccines, the school system should be prioritizing the order in which their staff gets them - highest risk first. If this is, as you say, all about getting the schools back open for the kids, what I'm saying will get the schools of the kids most in need open sooner, with more of the teachers and staff healthy.  Doing this in a smart order is directly aligned with the educational mission.Further, I note that using an alphabetical order is a fairly transparent indication that they aren't doing this.  The blatant lack of consideration from people whose job it is to consider these things is a problem.And, let us repeat, this would have been DIRT SIMPLE.   It isn't like we are saying they need to start a multi-month research project.  The school system should already have the data, already makes decisions based on the same data.  They already know which schools have more economically underprivileged kids.  If they don't, they are incompetent, and deserve jeers anyway. You folks seem to be arguing that the institution in charge of educating kids can be allowed to be stupid itself!</blockquote>
