I was in high school, at the start of my junior year. The principal announced over the loudspeakers that planes had crashed into the towers while we were in 1st period classes. I was in English class at the time and our teacher assumed it was some horrific accident (the principal didn't provide a lot of information, which was probably in part due to limited information at the time) and wouldn't turn on the TV, as some of the students requested, because she felt that wanting to see it was just some kind of grim voyeurism. Fortunately, when I arrived for my 2nd period German class, the teacher had the TV on and was not really holding class, just watching and discussing the news. Sometime not long after that they dismissed everyone for the day.
