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 WILL SUE YOU!"
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.
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!
Right? In most places you'll likely never see another.
My dad taught welding and machining. He gave me a bunch of glass for welding helmets, so I could bring them to school and see the eclipse with my classmates.
They didn't have everyone go look with a pinhole shoebox thing at anon's school? Weird. I remember doing it.
Most wholesome greentext I've ever read
If I were this kid's dad, I think I'd prefer to leave him in class and ensure his understanding of the world literally was clarified.
Edit: lol, thought my comment would be seen as obvious tongue in cheek. Sorry to all those who took it to heart.
Lol what?
Missing a few minutes of class isn't gonna make a differenc
Out of class for 10 minutes but now has a memory that he cherishes for a lifetime
Idk sounds like a good deal to me
