Seriously? When there was a partial solar eclipse back when I was in elementary school, I think it was in the early 90's or thereabouts, they had school open and did lessons on the way the earth and moon moved about the sun and we all went outside to view it when it happened. The whole school. Then we went back in and had lessons again.

Some classes made pinhole cameras to observe it, while other classes, like mine used special viewing glasses. Well, there were only a few pairs so we all had to take turns.
