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.
I'm from the Denver metro area. I was in 7th grade when columbine happened. I've met people who were in the school when it happened. It was the 4th of July and I think I was in high school by that point. We weren't able to do any fireworks other than sparklers for her sake. I knew better than to say anything about it but I was curious about her experience.
