[quote=Anonymous]My kids school did not let the kids go out after 1:30 PM. They told the kids they could not go outside without a parent there but it sounds like that was not well enforced. I sent my son with 6 pairs of glasses and he shared we the other kids. The kids said it was cool.

The thing is that the precautions were unnecessary. We had people at work who made a viewing device out of two pieces of paper and a pen. They poked a hole into one pice of paper and made a pin hole projector. Any school could have done that with kids. The sun was still bright, negating the possibility of anyone looking at it. The danger of looking at it was in areas with totality where the sun was completely covered and you were looking when the moon stopped covering the sun and you were hit by the pulse of initial light. We did not have to worry about that.

We had parents pull kids from school when they heard the school wasn’t going to let the kids go outside and watch. Lots of kids pulled between 1:30-2:00. [/quote]
