Solar eclipse?

How feasible do you think this will be if your class is outside at recess during the eclipse? I know the teachers at our school huddle in a circle at recess with their backs to the kids and do not actually watch the kids.

Not PP but please shut it....Texas schools closed. There can be safety concerns.

Texas schools are closed because they want the kids to get out and view the eclipse. They are expecting HEAVY tourism in certain areas and they want the kids to get out and enjoy with families. They are not closed for safety. How silly.

Someone is really trying to create drama around “safety issues.”

The only one creating drama here is you. Everyone else is calmly discussing how cool it will be to witness a partial solar eclipse.

Hmm... you seem to be the only one kvetching about "safety." Everyone else is perfectly aware of how to put on a pair of eclipse glasses.

Schools aren’t giving out glasses and I doubt all parents will send them in. How should schools handle it?

Normally that wouldn’t bother me, but on eclipse day I’d like to have more confidence that they are going to watch them better and keep kids from looking at the sun. So, I ask again, what’s the plan?

If you pull your child out on Monday, they will miss 40% of the school week.

Wednesday 4/10 is a holiday for all staff and students. It’s Eid.

Sigh seriously if it’s that big a deal keep your snowflake at home so the sun will not laser burn them. Most kids will be inside, if your kid happens to be outside for recess during the time ask if they can stay in library or sit in office instead.

Libraries have ongoing classes all day and the office won’t watch them. Are you able to answer what the schools’ plan for entire classes is or not? Your only suggestion has been to pull them out. That’s not feasible for everyone.

It’s over two weeks away. We’re on spring break. We’ll figure it out. We’ve already received some guidance to help us figure it out as each school has a different schedule. Please stop with your endless demands.

How is this stupid post going on for nine pages? Email the teacher and ask them what their plan is.

This is truly one of the most absurd things to continue nattering on about. Unreal.
