I have been reading people panicking because schools will be let out, or even closed that day. So many people will be traveling to these areas of the total eclipse!! Also, all the kids will want to see it, and families would probably pull them outta school anyhow to go to an eclipse event. I have friends traveling to other states to see it. We are where there is going to be 72% coverage, and that's good enough for me and my family. So I think these state of emergency things are being abused by the government for one thing, however it's because so many people are traveling to these places to stand in the dark for a few minutes
Schools do not want to be held liable for eye damage - I am a teacher and I agree.
Adding - the eclipse is a spectacular natural occurrence and as a teacher, I would love to watch with my class, but the kids not wearing the special glasses/viewers correctly or acting silly while viewing and having the glasses fall off, worries me. I am happy I do not have the responsibility for 28 kids and their eyesight.
