What grade are you teaching in HS?

Assuming youre teaching seniors, the kids were in 4th grade when 9-11 happened?

If theyre freshmen, they were in 1st grade?

I have a first grader right now, and I certainly wouldn't have exposed him to any of that day. Even a fourth grader I would have intervened as a parent at some point (maybe when the people were jumping).

So I'm not really shocked that they have a limited grasp of the details of the day.

Thats why your teaching them is so important.
