### My school district has cancelled Eclipse Day for the students 😢
As mentioned above, my school district has decided to cancel Eclipse Day for the students, a decision that has left many disappointed and feeling like they are missing out on a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The totality of the eclipse is set to begin at 3:14 and end at 3:16, giving students the opportunity to witness this rare astronomical event.
### 🌞 The Event of a Lifetime 🌑
The last total solar eclipse that occurred in our area was back in 1925, and the next one is not expected until 2144. This makes the current eclipse a unique and special event that many students were looking forward to experiencing. It’s a chance to witness the sun being completely eclipsed by the moon, creating a breathtaking sight in the sky.
### Practical Solutions to Make the Most of Eclipse Day 🌌
1. **Schedule a personal day**: If you had a feeling that Eclipse Day might be cancelled, like I did, take matters into your own hands. Request a personal day in advance so you can enjoy the eclipse outside of school.
2. **Call in sick**: If you are a teacher who is disappointed by the cancellation, consider calling in sick on Eclipse Day. This will give you the opportunity to witness the eclipse and not miss out on this unforgettable experience.
3. **Send anonymous critical feedback**: If you feel strongly about the cancellation of Eclipse Day, consider sending anonymous critical feedback to your school district’s directors of education and admin teams. Express your disappointment and urge them to reconsider their decision in the future.
### Conclusion 🌠
While it’s unfortunate that Eclipse Day has been cancelled for students in our school district, there are still ways to make the most of this celestial event. Whether it’s taking a personal day, calling in sick, or voicing your feedback anonymously, don’t let this opportunity pass you by. The next total solar eclipse is not for many years to come, so take action now to ensure you don’t miss out on this extraordinary moment in the sky.
Nice
I feel a sudden illness coming on at about noon. Food poisoning, probably.
Why would they cancel school verse turn it into an educational and fun day – how many kids are just going to be at home playing video games?
Sorry not to take away what your principal did was shitty and mean spirited
All of you should walk out and watch the eclipse. What are they going to do, fire you all?
Moon blocks the sun for a few moments. It’s no big deal. Get back to work.
50% of principals are small dick bullies who are giant sissies outside of work.
Our district made us stay inside and even avoid sunlight during the last eclipse. Ignoring a teachable moment.
That sucks, but its also all of their faults for not speaking up and demanding the meeting gets changed. How hard is it to ask that
Just don’t go to the meeting.
So your in Chatham-Kent?
They should all just go outside to watch. Fuck that meeting.
I’m near the west coast of Florida and all schools are open but in my county, outdoor activities and sports are postponed until after 4. Starting to think about the next eclipse in 21 years which will go over Florida. It will be on Saturday so school closures won’t be an issue.
Fucking disgusting
You people know you’re not supposed to look at it right?
Call in sick and keep your kid home to see the eclipse.
My kids’ school is taking all the kids outside to view the eclipse, with safety glasses provided and all that. I don’t think a day off is warranted but the administration should absolutely be making sure everyone has the opportunity to witness a singular event like this. Hopefully it isn’t cloudy 🤞
I remember Hale-Bopp of ‘97 and when it was visible to the naked eye in the afternoon, we were TOLD to get to the school grounds to look at it, esp if it was on the opposite side of the sun (tail pointing away). Fun times
Tldr, but the vibe I’m getting is that the teachers all get to go early to the library, probably so that they can watch the eclipse, while you all have to stay in class? Unsupervised? Because it sounds to me like that’s the perfect opportunity to go and get some fresh air right around 5 after 3:00. It’s really stuffy in those classrooms with all those people in there, isn’t it?
Who cares idk why everyone is hyping up this eclipse also companies like limited edition snacks and stuff I thought this was anti work?
That’s awesome. My wife and I were saying this really sucks that we don’t get to experience this with the kids… I remember when I was a kid… And we will be adults with lots more little ones when it happens again… This sucks.
Meanwhile, my school is making sure all of our students are outside with eclipse glasses to watch.
Fuck them, teachers deserve better
Would this school be in Pittsburgh by any chance?
(not a lawyer, this is not legal advice) – To my understanding, that might count as religious discrimination. The new york state corrections department tried to prevent some inmates from watching, but they sued and they settled dropping the lawsuit in exchange for permission to see the eclipse [https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/new-york-inmates-who-claimed-lockdown-was-religious-violation-will-be-able-to-see-eclipse/ar-BB1l8BcS](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/new-york-inmates-who-claimed-lockdown-was-religious-violation-will-be-able-to-see-eclipse/ar-BB1l8BcS)
Our school district is doing nothing. No early dismissal. They sent home permission slips to view the eclipse for the students, and if they aren’t signed, everybody has to stay inside. And they only sent the slips home for middle schoolers. I put in for a personal day months ago as well. I doubt it would have been approved if they’d realized it was the eclipse since it’s adding on to spring break, which they typically don’t allow. It’s infinitely funnier because I also gave notice I am quitting right before the break so there will be fires tomorrow and I don’t think they remember I won’t be there LOL
Oh man. We got eclipse glasses for our classes and we invited our principal to come down for it. I’m sorry that yours sounds like such a jerk.
That jerk off needs a chocolate covered pretzel… “they’re a little melty, but DAMN are they exquisite.”
In case this goes over a bunch of heads:
Why does part of me think the principal is gonna be like “surprise, we’re all going outside to watch the eclipse! Hope you brought your own special glasses!” as a “team-bonding” activity
I’m betting that the meeting in the library will be a quick tutorial on how to safely view the eclipse, followed by handing out eclipse glasses and everyone go onto the roof/out front/back to see the eclipse. OP, update us on Wednesday whether your principal was a dick or a thoughtful person!
