i'l admit that i only read half of this thread so far....but i just gotta ask.
what type of teachers are in your area??? Most of the teachers i know and have had were 65 yr old ladies who had been teaching all their lives..
now, putting a gun in these hands, requiring theseteachers to go through training and expecting them to be able to fend off a very fast, very motivated,angry teenager who has intent to do harm just seems a bit farfetched.
I am not saying this is the case with every teacher, but i;m just saying that putting in a requirement for all teachers to be highly trained with firearms and self defense/crisis control with armed assailants is probably not a feasible thing to do.
Having armed guards in the schools makes much more sense, but expecting teachers from all sorts of backgrounds to make for efficient blocks against this sort of violence is just not going to work. it *may* cause some of the sociopathic to rethink a strategy or two, but the dedicated would still find ways of doing the same thing. The presence of an armed guard could seriously curtail that threat much more effectively than arming typical teachers would.
