As a teacher I resent this in so many ways. First of all, I consider that a personal attack and am going to complain to Matt! LOL.farmer wrote:
I have been in enough schools to know for a fact that many teachers have no businsess being around a gun. As well as some good teachers would not be able to teach because they are worried about those in the school having guns. Guns in school is not the answer if someone who is not in their right mind is intent of causing damage. A gun does not good if the person uses a bomb instead.
Contrary to what you've been told, most teachers aren't pants pissing pansies. The idea of an armed guard isn't going to make me shake and quiver and forget how to do my job. It's going to make me and my students feel safer. An armed guard or teacher would have stopped Sandy Hook cold. Fact.
Bottom line, I wish I were able to be responsible for my own safety, since nobody else seems inclined to take it seriously. It's very easy for you, though, I'm sure, to write off teachers and students, not having to put your ass on the line every day undefended and alone.
