Dave Grohl Defends Teachers, Remote Learning in 'True Stories' Clip
“Teachers are also confronted with a whole new set of dilemmas that most people would not consider. There’s so much more to be addressed than just opening the doors and sending [children] back home, my mother tells me on the phone,” Grohl said. “Now 82 and retired, she runs down a list of concerns based on her 35 years of experience: Masks and distancing, temperature checks, crowded bussing, crowded hallways, sports, air-conditioning systems, lunchrooms, public restrooms, janitorial staff.
Grohl then noted how many of the teachers, especially older faculty, are those whose lives would be at risk. “I can only imagine if my mother would now be forced to return to a stuffy, windowless classroom.” The solution, for now, is remote learning, Grohl’s mother argued, although that too presents a challenge for “working class and single parents dealing with the logistical problem of balancing jobs with the children at home,” as well as technological and social issues.
