A lot of people have been weighing in about kids going back to school during coronavirus pandemic, and Dave Grohl decided to give his two cents.
The Foo Fighters singer revealed in a nearly 9-minute video that he dropped out of high school in 11th grade to become a musician. Therefore, he does not think that kids should go back to school just yet. But not for the reasons you think.
His mother was a teacher, and he knows how important the job is. They are essential workers just like first responders, grocery workers, and medical staff, and we need to protect them. No one is saying how to do that if the kids go back to school. Until then, we need to consider them and all of the people who work in schools.
No one is debating that kids need to go back to school, we are debating what is the safest way for everyone to do it. Grohl said it much better than I ever could.
Not only did he eloquently explain why we need to delay the opening of schools, but he also brilliantly and lovingly talked about his mom. He might be one of the baddest rockers out there, but at the end of the day he will always a mama’s boy! Just another reason to love him. As if we needed one.
