I remember that day too. In elementary school, once a week I used to go with some students to an accelerated/alternative program at another school. Our teacher there was quite eccentric.
I remember her coming into the room crying during our lunch recess. My immediate thought was that war had started between the US and the USSR. Strange as it seems, I remember feeling somewhat relieved when she told us that the shuttle had exploded. The Cold War loomed large in my conscience. Considering our program, It's so odd that she didn't have us watching the launch in the first place. I guess I am lucky she didn't.
