My school made us go to the library and watch the news during 9/11. We were still elementary school.
Edit: The teacher and librarian didn’t even change the channel or turn off the tv when people started jumping. It is crazy the amount schools all over the country allowed small kids to watch this horrific event. I remember one kid said it was funny that people were jumping when we were discussing it the next day with the teacher. Everyone thought that his reaction was weird.
We were in homeroom watching live as the second plane hit. I vividly remember that but not anything else about that school day.
I also vividly remember hearing the boom and feeling the school shake during the OKC bombing when I was in elementary school. The teachers left us alone in classrooms and went and watched the news before coming back and telling us what happened.
