This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

does not every school take out all the kids to see an eclipse every time?

I could maybe see some American schools being afraid that some dipshit looks at the sun and burns his eyes then parents sue the school

I don't other areas did but I live in the path of totality for the eclipse that happened in April and the schools were all shut down that day. A lot of it was our of fear that people flooding into the area to watch the eclipse would overwhelm the areas infrastructure. If estimates were to be believed from all the areas in my state I heard were supposed to be getting an influx of eclipse watchers I think there was supposed to be about 14 billion people looking for hotels around me.

Right? In most places you'll likely never see another.

Exactly. If you are in the path of the eclipse and dont make it an event for the kids, you failed as a place of education and learning!
