To the Editor:

Patience is not a virtue when it threatens the well being of our children. Prolonged school shutdowns are harmful. We know that distance learning doesn’t work.

Lt. Gov. Dan McKee gets it. That is why he wants to prioritize vaccinating teachers in order to get them back in the classroom with their students.

Mr. McKee understands that our kids need to be in school. Vaccinating teachers will achieve that goal. He is right and we should support his efforts to get it done.
