It’s field trip season in middle school.
Which means that all over the country young adolescents are headed to memorials and museums. In New Haven, Connecticut, field trip season means the 8th graders are going to the World Trade Center in New York City. Which means that at my kitchen table, my daughters and I are discussing how safe it is to be at the World Trade Center. Two of us think it’s one of the safest places in the world. The 7th grader, who will go to the World Trade Center with her class next year, isn’t so sure.
It’s been almost 15 years since September 11, 2001, three years since the Boston Marathon attacks, five months since the Paris, Beirut and Baghdad attacks, four months since the San Bernardino attacks, and one month since the Brussels and Ivory Coast attacks.
Which might make right now the perfect time to talk to our children about terrorist attacks.
