[quote=Anonymous]MCPS isn't going to sacrifice instruction time (teaching to the test) to inspire the next Einstein or Hawking. Why would they cancel school or even do lessons around this solar eclipse? Fwiw, I was an mcps student 1,000 years ago. There was a solar eclipse and, for a week ahead of it, we discussed it in all classes. Not the entire class, but the eclipse was incorporated into math, social studies, science, english, art, even pe. The day of, the whole school was brought outside and we were able to view it through special shadow boxes we made. No one looked at the sun, no one got hurt. I will always remember that day. My kids will not be attending school that day. They will have my week of eclipse leaning packed into one day and then we'll check out the eclipse.[/quote]
