Hello and welcome to USA Today's The Excerpt.
I'm Dana Taylor.
Today is Thursday, September tenth, twenty twenty six.
Those were students at Dexter Southfield at school outside Boston.
Peter Fulan is the head of the school and has worked in education for more than thirty years.
It's so good to have you here, Peter.
Peter, today students were born, as I said, years after the attacks on September eleventh.
Why is it important for them to learn about that day now?
What do students typically know about nine eleven before your lessons begin?
Have you found there are things they tend to misunderstand?
You've called the lessons part of our historical inheritance.
What did you mean by that?
And does that inheritance come with responsibility?
You've touched on this, but how do you
Focus on the stunning heroism of nine eleven and platforming that along with explaining the hatred and violence behind the attacks without overwhelming younger students.
And how do you grapple with not reducing the lesson to a one-note tragedy?
One clear theme in your curriculum is how Americans responded in the aftermath of the attacks.
Why is that part of the story an essential part of the history you want students to understand?
It's now been twenty five years and it can be easy to become numb to historic moments.
