[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spoke with my 7 yr old about it today because his teacher brought it up in class. He had a lot of very specific questions. I wasn't planning on giving him this many details at this age. I didn't mention the word terrorist or any group but said bad people and stressed that airport security wasn't what it is today. He already knew a lot of details about that day before our conversation and DH is always flying. I don't have an answer for why this happened. So many answers to why bad things happen...[/quote]

Me again. I'm wondering if this was his actual teacher or if he heard from older kids at school. I can't imagine a teacher talking about the planes to a group of 7 year olds. [/quote]

My 7 year old's teacher let a class conversation take a turn of its own and unwittingly introduced 9/11 to 6 and 7 year olds. Egregiously poor judgment, intuition, and classroom management on her part. Unforgiveable.[/quote]

Why is it unforgivable for kids that age to know about a significant event in our country's history?[/quote]
