My teacher was pretty upset about it. I remember the school basically shut down. We weren't dismissed early or anything, but there wasn't much education that day. It was just watching it replay over and over again and talking about it.

I was in 2nd grade and the school was making a huge deal about it with the Christa McAuliffe situation. My teacher was really bummed out rather immediately afterwards and the weird sorrow vibes flowed down through the entire school. It was very odd and uncomfortable.
