Triple vaccinated teachers (and they should all be triple vaxxed) are in a far less dangerous situation than the kids in a classroom, and others in the family or community to whom they might spread a virus, even if asymptomatic. Kids under 12 are not yet even approved for boosters.

The teachers are not the ones we need to protect so much as the kids and the communities in which they live.
