The reason there is a push for schools to reopen isn't because we want our children to be educated. When kids are at home, it prevents mom and/or dad from going to their job(s). Because of this, it (in theory) slows down the economy or shrinks it because economic activity is hampered. So in the eyes of a conservative or neo-liberal government, vaccinating teachers to get schools open is a top priority. Vaccinating a grocery store worker puts that worker back on the floor. Vaccinating a teacher could put 30 or more workers back to their jobs.
