I would have expected the schools to schedule eclipse watch parties or something similar. This is a rare chance that the kiddos won't have for two decades. As a teacher - any teacher - i would have volunteered to stay longer and have a science session with my padawans.I got our glasses from the local Kroger store and we will be able to see it from where we are for about 3 full minutes so we are staying put. We even got the day off school so that the children don't look up while getting on our school buses as it would come around that time.
