2. Not saying that the teachers don't deserve this

But what about the others who have gone through so much during the pandemic? I'm thinking of the IT department who keep the systems up and running so there can be distance learning or the custodians who have to do the extra Sanitation or the bus drivers with the tiny tots and their little extra germs with covid-19 around? That is all just in schools, but how many died in the Meatpacking plants where they are shoulder to shoulder or in the warehouses or grocery stores where people had to go to work everyday even when the pandemic was raging. Doctors, nurses, nursing home employees, production workers, Etc are also included.
