It's the most important world event since ww2.
How can any history teacher ignore it?

Pretty sure it's too recent to be included on any history syllabus anyway. I doubt kids today don't know about 9/11.

I don't think needs to be included in the syllabus but children should definitely be taught it if they ask.
I genuinely had a teacher who told us about how it wasn't terrorists who did it and that it was all planned and told us to watch this certain video about it. It pissed me off so much. They shouldn't be allowed to say things like that.

It was a he and probably... He was one to also say how awful Americans were. People thought he was a 'legend' but I got really annoyed by him.

We learned about it in PHSE last year - but were never taught it in History. In History it's basically World War 1 & 2, The Tudors, Ancient American Indians, Industrial Revolution and The Holocaust.

Given that the chain of events of 9/11 are all over the ****ing place, if I was a history teacher I would be quite uncomfortable with teaching any version as "fact".
Then again, history is full of secrets and most of what's in the textbooks - from the Romans to the Royals to the Colonies - is probably little more than a jumble of half-truths and exaggerations. So I guess it doesn't really matter if it's bull****. |

I definitely think it should be studied now, if more modern disasters can be studied as a History lesson then why can't 9/11 be studied?

It could conceivably be taught in history I suppose but I think more time would need to lapse for us to be able to fully appreciate its historical significance else we could have a distorted view which is too influenced by how recent it is. It'd be better taught in some current affairs sort of subject which more could be done about in schools. PSHE, RE and 'general studies' all kind of cover stuff like this but I'm not sure how well

teach them what?
men are easily deluded by the need to feel important and are easily led to believe in gods lets teach children that religion is backward and wrong, that we must ask why, what is your evidence, where is your proof and lets move forward question everything |

i remember trying to find a website to see the 9/11 info when someone got a distressing a call and all the main ones were down and eventually we got the guardian and it said a cessna lite aircraft hit one tower!
we then went into the conference room ( i was with a USA company in London) and watched CNN, we had clients in the towers and people watching friends, it was awful. Last edited by LeatherTrumpet; 08-03-2015 at 07:51 PM. |

I think most teachers prefer to teach subjects less contentious than "9/11"
