[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it would be crazy to close early. Kids will be unsupervised on buses and walking home and may not have eclipse glasses.[/quote]

When does it become the parent's responsibility to protect their child from harm by 1) providing the viewing glasses for their children to walk home or ride the bus home wearing? 2) pick their child up early to watch the event at home with them?

Some staff at my school are not happy that the principal didn't use school funds to purchase the glasses for hundreds of kids. That makes no sense. [/quote]

I am the commenter above who’s picking up their kids early. I know I am very fortunate that I can. My parents could’ve never picked me up early so I sympathize and understand parents who can’t pick up their kids early. However, regarding the glasses, this is where the PTA can come in and buy glasses for all of the students so they can safely walk home.

I was reading on Facebook that some principlas even scheduled staff meetings for this time so even the teachers can’t takeoff early and pick their kids up or even view the eclipse themselves. [/quote]
