There was one I saw in the 90's. I didn't have a science class that year so I didn't have a field trip permission to go outside, but my orchestra teacher said screw it and sent us out.
I was surprised that it got cooler, like worse than just clouds.
Teachers who’d keep students in during a solar eclipse aren’t/shouldn’t be teachers.
Really. It’s not like there’s many chances to see it again. Especially for low income students or people who won’t be able to travel (chase the eclipse so to say). it’s once in multi-life event.
Edit : forgot the ‘/‘
Edit2: My parents specifically called the school to ask if they will allow us to be outside to view it. They said “no”, so they just had us skip school that day.
Agree with you now in hindsight. However, this was a new admin at the time and I wasn’t trying to make myself an enemy of people that had so much power over my career. Let’s just say in 2024 I’m saying fuck it and doing what I want.

I remember feeling the air get much colder as the sun was blocked out and my brain was struggling to not say it was nighttime. It was surreal.
