They didn’t have everyone go look with a pinhole shoebox thing at anon’s school? Weird. I remember doing it.

does not every school take out all the kids to see an eclipse every time?

No! Only welders do!

groet ,

Exactly. If you are in the path of the eclipse and dont make it an event for the kids, you failed as a place of education and learning!

Ponder the Orb and the vast information it could hold.

I could maybe see some American schools being afraid that some dipshit looks at the sun and burns his eyes then parents sue the school

“I WILL SUE YOU!”

I can remember watching a partial eclipse in the early '90s from my elementary school… except we were only allowed to watch it from inside of a lame cardboard shadow box of liability and fear. It was as underwhelming as it was safe.

I don’t other areas did but I live in the path of totality for the eclipse that happened in April and the schools were all shut down that day. A lot of it was our of fear that people flooding into the area to watch the eclipse would overwhelm the areas infrastructure. If estimates were to be believed from all the areas in my state I heard were supposed to be getting an influx of eclipse watchers I think there was supposed to be about 14 billion people looking for hotels around me.

Where I live, they typically only do that for the more total eclipses, like 80+% coverage. It makes sense to me that the dad might have heard about a lower coverage partial eclipse and realized he had exactly the right tool.

Blackmist ,

Right? In most places you’ll likely never see another.

If I were this kid’s dad, I think I’d prefer to leave him in class and ensure his understanding of the world literally was clarified.

Missing a few minutes of class isn’t gonna make a differenc

Sanguine ,

Lol what?

ZarkleFarkle ,

Vast amounts of energy can escape from certain physical types of orbs due to their internal properties.

Baguette ,

Out of class for 10 minutes but now has a memory that he cherishes for a lifetime

Idk sounds like a good deal to me

My dad taught welding and machining. He gave me a bunch of glass for welding helmets, so I could bring them to school and see the eclipse with my classmates.
