Interview 027 | Melissa Blount

from The Orbit · host Connor Miller

In quarantine, the problem isn't just teaching kids remotely - it's getting them access to a computer with internet. Melissa Blount works at a Title 1 middle school, and her job has shifted from being a librarian to being a social support hub for her students. COVID-19 swept the nation quickly, leaving schools with very little time to respond. Melissa and I examine what could have been done, and what mutual aid networks are doing to help.
