i fear i made the mistake of some common sense left unsaid as 'givin'.
of course, phred. i agree. I don't see this an issue at all for arming every teacher. the thing is, some do need it. i think they should be provided with both martial arts and firearm training, if they wish to pack heat.
i'd never give anyone a gun if they were not experienced and with good reasoning. the point is for those teachers who can keep cool and calm (and most likely the most hated) should be able to defend themselves.
teaching at schools these day is reminding me of a zoo keeper going into a big room of apes with no training. its nt only a bad idea, that person probably will not make it out alive or unscathed at least.
i do, however, have problems with the very ideal i'm supporting when i think of our future... kids now having to learn under risk of being harmed (and don't readt hat statement as 'innocent children')... what will our kids have to do?
The best ideas I've seen are cameras. yes, the invade privacy. but its school. in school you are supposed to learn, not be dealing or making out or what have you. if you're in school, you should have no privacy.
as far as a guard in the classroom? no way. that would stress the teacher and pupils out too badly.
