They rolled a TV into my 3rd grade Canadian classroom in Toronto and multiple teachers, nearby classrooms and staff sat down in our classroom to watch. They sent everyone home for a couple days about 30mins to an hour after the 2nd tower collapsed. Parents slowly trickled in to pick up children as they had to cancel daily events. I complained vehemently how I had to go back to school on Friday, and why they couldn't just close out the entire week. I don't recall much happening on that Friday, and there was some despair in constant looming throughout that week and the following weekend.
