Efforts are underway to educate students about the september 11, 2001, attacks, with some advocating for a national curriculum and others using innovative methods such as virtual reality. As the 25th anniversary of the attacks approaches, teachers and educators are reflecting on how teaching about the event has changed over time. Various initiatives, including fundraising efforts and a touring exhibit featuring a steel beam from the 9/11 site, aim to keep the lessons of 9/11 alive for a new generation of students.
