And all after school activities are cancelled. FWIW I live in NC where the eclipse will only be partial.
There was a full eclipse when I was a kid once. We were told about it in school and told not to look at the sun. We made boxes with holes so we could view it backwards by seeing the light reflected in the box.
What am I missing here? What are the safety reasons for closing school?
Yeah likely. No one bothered to sue in the 1950’s. We just lived our lives and took responsibility for our own actions
