I walked in to my 8th grade science class to find my science teacher crying. She had set up a TV in the room to watch the launch. It had just exploded prior to the start of the class. We watched them play the explosion over and over.

Edit: it was a huge deal to teachers because Christa McAuliffe was to be the first teacher in space. We had a lot of teachers in our district that applied for the selection process when it was announced.
