DID FCPS Talk about 9/11?

iT FELLS LIKE No one talked about 9/11 today. My DS civics teacher was the only one that told us, he was in 8th grade the same school when he found out the "towers were gone"...

My sixth grader's teacher talked about it, where she was during the attacks and what it was like.

I didn't ask my kids, but I saw a LOT about 9/11 remembrance today. A LOT of my friend lived in NY and DC that day. We all remember, we will never forget. I was literally driving past the pentagon when the plane came down.

Yes, on the morning announcements the principal said a few words and requested we dedicate the daily “moment of silence” to the lives lost 24 years ago.

I’m a teacher. A couple of my co-workers and I talked about, but I didn’t bring it up with my class of 4th graders.

Maybe in history but I have too much to do with content to spend a day reminiscing about a day the kids weren’t alive for and do not care about.

Wow a profound condemnation of the state of education today.

I have high schoolers reading at the kindergarten level of phonics. In mainstream level classes working on letter sounds. I need history to teach history so I can teach them how to READ.

Yes, MS did. Moment of silence, too. The kids have seen the video. They know.

I work at the Pentagon but very few people were talking about 9/11. A group of us got together and went out to the memorial but for the most part it was a day at work. People had to adjust departure times for meetings because they moved the ceremony into the courtyard and closed off some of the normal pathways.

My high schooler watched a documentary about it in Government. She actually sought out additional information on her own after that..

When does it fade out? I think soon. People eventually stopped talking about Pearl Harbor, except for in history class.

My Dad was stationed at Camp Lejeune and knew multiple people killed in the Beirut barracks biking and that doesn't even get covered in history class.

I lived close to Oklahoka City when the bombing happened and can remember my first grade teacher crying in class because her sister worked in the building. And people seem to have just forgotten that one too.
