The challenge of teaching 9/11 to kids

The Excerpt

About this episode

Twenty-five years after the attacks, today’s students know 9/11 through history lessons rather than personal memory. Dexter Southfield Head of School Peter Folan joins USA TODAY's The Excerpt to explain how educators balance the tragedy of that day with stories of resilience, service, and unity. Hear how schools are helping a new generation understand why 9/11 still matters.
