The tragedies that occurred on Sept. 11 took place 17 years ago, but for many, the pain that the terrorist attacks inflicted is still as fresh as it was in 2001. People who lived through the attacks can remember precisely where they were when they heard the news that four planes had been hijacked, with two planes flown into the north and south towers of the World Trade Center, one flown into the Pentagon, and one crashing into a field in Pennsylvania after its passengers bravely confronted the hijackers.

It is hard to believe that the attacks, which claimed the lives of 2,977 people, happened before current high school students were alive. And now, to educate students on such an essential part of American history, teachers assign projects like the essay assigned to author and TV presenter Brad Meltzer’s son.

    I kid you not, my son just brought home this as his homework assignment. He has to write an essay about it. Teacher had no idea.
