[quote=Anonymous]They say they care about equity, yet how is it equitable to allow teachers to make a decision that should have been handled at a district level in a way to optimize learning. How is equitable for the kids with parents with the means to procure glasses and not work take their Kids out for the day or afternoon to see it and for kids whose parents do not have those means to suffer. Thousands of kids could have been inspired by this event to a career in science of astromony and instead they are inside, missing the whole thing or watching it on a Chromebook. It’s absolutely pathetic. [/quote] I agree. At my kids’ school in Rockville, we were told outdoor recess is cancelled and kids would watch it on tv if the teachers allowed. I assume this is about reducing potential litigation. But it goes against their “equity” policing, because it meant all the parents with flexible jobs or SAHP pulled their kids out of school to watch. [/quote]
