1:30 at our WS pyramid school.

How is that going to work if middle schools dismiss at 2:15?

It’s ONE school where students are not allowed outside after 1:30. It has to be an elementary school where recess would occur in the afternoon.

Totally ridiculous since the eclipse doesn’t even begin until 2:00pm.

Yes, correct. It's one ES. I think the students in trailers are also not allowed to go from their classes to the main building, so not sure how that will go.

Oh dear god. That is just stupid. What school is this?

Don’t do this. You will be basically telling the kids to stare outside instead of doing the plans the teacher left and it will look like a cloudy day. Were you here for the last one? It’s not that significant here. I’m having regular class and it’s HS so only affects part of the last class of the day. I’m not expecting many to care.

Ill add the room I’m thinking of heading to has a wall of windows on the eastern side of the building. The actual sun can not be seen from that side. If it ends up looking like a cloudy day, so be it, but at least we will get a sense of what it is like.

I’m covering for a special. The class starts at 2:30 and the school dismisses at 3:30. So instead of stopping ~3:20 to clean up I figure we can bump it back about 15 minutes and dismiss from the other room.

I’ve been here since ‘93. My first year teaching.

They need proper eyewear if they are looking outside.

What? No. Even from inside if the sun is completely on the other side of the building? You can’t see the sun from that room. It’s not even close.

You don’t know for sure. And kids can get curious and start craning their necks and maybe see the sun. Bad idea. You’re subbing - follow the plans and guidelines that have been set and don’t go rogue on eclipse day.

No. They can’t see the sun. I was in that building for 30 years. The sun is not visible from those windows. Not even at 10 am. Like I said, it’s not even close.

Do what you want then. It sounds like a big hassle and the potential to annoy two teachers for no benefit. You aren’t following plans and trying to go into a different persons room so the kids can look outside and NOT see the sun.

Totally disagree. This one will be better than the one in 2017 because of the angle of the shadow. I would totally bring the class to a room with windows. Who cares about not doing the lesson for 10-15 minutes?
