I got the same result at our local school, and I even had a lesson plan ready for them to use, 3 scopes, viewing glasses and pinhole cards for the students to make and use.
I can't believe they are not taking advantage of a literally once in a lifetime event.
I'm keeping my kids home for the morning, they will learn more here if the weather is clear.
