“He was there just for the pay, he didn’t care about protecting and saving lives.”
That’s exactly what the teachers will do. They will demand extra pay if they carry a gun. And yet they would never use it.
Just like they don’t actually bother to teach anything
It amazes me that so many people here think we should arm teachers. These people can’t even bother to teach our kids anything other than how to use condoms and to love diversity. Do you really want to trust these people with anything, much less educating kids and protecting them?
We're not all useless, I don't think. Some of us do still teach children and would give our lives protecting them if such a situation arose. Some of us are already CHL holders, myself included, and would not be afraid to use a gun to stop a killer. Plenty of my coworkers are retired military; I am fully confident that they could handle being among the designated armed personnel, if given the opportunity.Please don't paint all educators with such a broad brush; FReepers do that all the time and it gets pretty tiresome. There are more conservative teachers than you realize. You're welcome, by the way...I'm proud to do the job I do, thankless though it usually is.
