In 1958 my parents kept us home from school to watch NASA's first launch! My mother was school's physics teacher.

Who has school in the summer?

Some schools started in early August. Nice try.

I started school the Tuesday after Labor Day. It was more than enough.

Can you imagine being the asshole who tells a child they can't go see the eclipse because they have to learn shapes?

Any school that wouldn't suppose a student going to see totality is not worth attending.

Family time is always better than school time. With longer days, years and excessive home work, schools already demand to much time.

It's okay whenever the parents decided it's okay. The kids do not belong to the state, the school, or the federal government.

Most US children were on summer vacation during the eclipse.

Mine weren't. And they started later than most. So I'm confused by your statement.

Tuesday after Labor Day here which is perfect. It's not easy lining up family vacation at work competing with others competing for time.

You must be from the NorthEast. Most of the US started in early August, while some in July. Ridiculously long school year.

Yes. They should share that special moment if not with loved ones with themselves.
