This is attrocious and I feel for the families, things like this are why I believe that teachers and administrators should be armed. . . appropriately.
Make the program optional, require testing and certification with a level of at least expert marksman, and give them a pay increase for completing the certification. Wouldn't it be amazing to watch how quickly kids started behaving more respectfully when they have no idea whether or not the teacher is packing? And the first time a kid pulled a gun on a teacher and had one pulled back I'd be willing to bet that the number of gun incidents involving schools would drop to pretty much zero almost immediately.
Let the flaming commence.
