Question by IIIIIII: If a solar eclipse occurs while small kids are at school will the teachers bring them inside or let them see?
A solar eclipse occurred when I was 11 and all the kids were outside after lunch. Teachers passed around a few pairs of glasses through which to view the eclipse, but there weren't many pairs for all the kids.
I was too excited to wait and squinted one eye shut and looked directly at the eclipse with the other eye...the next day I was at the eye doctor with an ultraviolet laser burn in the ...cornea, I believe...in other words, a permanent blind spot, which I still have thirty years later.
But what about the younger kids, like 6 or 10 years old? Will teachers protect them? Kids can be extremely curious and excited about these things...I actually plan to keep my youngest son home inside in the event of a solar eclipse...and NOT let him be in school at that time.
People don't understand that the eclipse can seriously and permanently damage the eyes- and I only looked at it for about 7 seconds...while my eyeball was being painlessly burned away from the center outward and I hadn't a clue till it was too late.
MARK dosen't know how to read. Poor Mark.
