[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The eclipse was 2-4pm. Nobody missed it because of school. Stop crying. Be a parent. [/quote] Op here. I’m not crying. It was important for me that my kids experience this so I took them on a trip to a location in the path of totality so they could see it. It was incredible - a lifelong memory was made for them. But my kids’ classmates should have at least been taught about it and had the chance to experience it here themselves. To deprive them of that and make them watch a livestream is an example of what is wrong in public education today. My entire (public) school in another state all went outside - all grades — for a partial eclipse and I still remember it today. We all made pinhole viewers to see it. The exercise and experience fostered a curiosity in me about space and astronomy that continues to this day. Kids in MCPS deserved to experience this. Curiosity and wonder should not be forsaken for test scores. [/quote]
