My gut agrees with you, but then we'll be keeping our young kids out of preschool to go see the eclipse. So much for principles lol.

To be fair, you are talking about a rare event, that is educational and honestly damn cool.

The science teacher at the school probably wishes they could do it.

Last chance for decades without going to another continent. I’ll likely be dead before I can see another. My kids were too young to remember the last one, some chance they’ll never see another. We’re going, too—first time we’ve taken them out for something other than illness or a doctor’s appointment or something.

We’re in luck in central Texas as they’ve canceled most school for the eclipse!
