When I was in elementary school my school made a whole event out of the total eclipse. A nice memory for the kids
Me too April first is true new years 😊
That's what I just said. Take the opportunity to teach kids about astrology and how our solar system works. How expensive is it to buy some cheap cardboard glasses?
Same for me, we made these boxes so you can view it.
That doesn't make any sense. Keep the children in school. Kids doing school work, won't be able to lookcat the sun.
Liability
No that dangerous.
Or take the opportunity to teach them about astrology and how our solar system works.
No I think something else is going to be happening that day and they want to make sure everybody's at home
We are literally living in idiocrasy at this point
I'm 67 and In my lifetime schools never closed for for a solar eclipse. Schools across the country are closing and that doesn't make sense. Could there be some other reason and if so what ???
I'm 41, and in Pennsylvania, we did have early dismissal. And some parents didn't even send their kids to school. One time, the school gave us some special glasses to look at the eclips. But every case is different.
we had this happen before and no such problems happened. These claims made here and by other schools make no sense. Some are calling it a Calamity day. Some claim traffic problems. They are NOT telling you the truth about this and why closing the schools is their true reason.
Wow a CBC News video with comments turned on.
I was just wondering if the boarder will be closed during the eclipse?
Why was this never a problem before but suddenly it's a problem now?
We have the day off lol
ITS GOOD FOR UR EYES WTF!? no one ever sungazed? Our ancestors waited to watch these events !? ( I’m sure they made glasses😂)
Why don't they let the kids watch the eclipse though cameras set up outside and the image projected on a screen in the auditorium or in the classrooms? For younger kids, who may risk having eye damage, it may be a good option, as in an auditorium there is no chance of sun damage. For older kids, they can stay in class an extra hour or so, watch it on the screen or TV and look outside to see the darkening of the surrounding area. Being inside, the teacher would be able to prevent someone from staring up at the sun, during the dangerous period, which probably lasts only a few minutes. If the eclipse occurs after class hours, the teachers can recoup the extra time spent in class as a pedagogical day or get credit for it some other way.
😮
Because schools close for the smallest reason. Teachers are lazy.
If course we had blinds in school, they were pulled down and we weren't allowed to look out when I was in school.
This is just an admission they can’t even educate the kids the sun is dangerous to stare at 😂
Why not use it as a learning opportunity? Order the special glasses, do a fun experiment and TEACH! That's what schools are for!
Teachers today are lazy
What has Canada done to scientists?
