When the space shuttle was scheduled to fly over Dc on its way to its final resting place in the Dulles Air and Space Museum, the Principal of my son's elementary school arranged for there to be a fire drill and then let the kids mill around outside for an extra 20 minutes before coming back inside so they could get a good look at the shuttle.
These things are a more memorable learning experience than whatever lesson is being taught in the classroom that day. The principle should let the kids go see the torch go by. They will probably never have another Olympics there in their lifetimes.
