"Sit down or I'll put a cap in yo' ass" sounds more effective than sending them to the principal's office.
I generally don’t have a high opinion of public school teachers, but I’d be surprised if any of them would have stood by like those deputies if a shooting was occurring. I’d think they’d have more attachment to the children, or at least a sense of self-preservation. I guess the deputies just didn’t have their own children in that school...
An even better idea is to allow people to arm themselves.
Doesn’t cost the gov a cent.
It takes training and discipline to continue the attack when under fire. I believe this perp would have taken off running as soon as the first shot from anybody (armed teacher or police) was directed at him.
Arming our actually existing teachers, however - that's quite a different matter.
The Israeli government then armed the teachers. Attacks dropped to zero almost overnight.
Most teachers have either already killed their own children in the womb, or vehemently fight tooth and nail to make sure others can do the same with impunity. Clearly there is a gross disregard for the most innocent among us.
And people think those same murderers are going to give a rat’s @$$ about the students?
Don’t allow the government enforced it, they would have to go through too many fire procedures before cleared.
I hope they won’t make the mistake of keeping the teacher’s guns locked in a safe. (Probably with a bio-metric access, is my guess.)
If the teachers are armed — and I endorse this — they should carry concealed on their person, and keep it a Top Secret. No matter WHERE they are, they’re Ready. If a safe is used, time will be lost — IF the damn thing is even in an accesable place, once the shooting starts!
If the defense weapon is kept in a safe Everybody will know THAT it exists, and WHERE it is. This reduces the deterrant effect of the unknown too much.
Not every teacher would qualify. (Says a lot right there about who these people are...)
Why arming all adults is a better idea.
If Secretary of education Betsy DeVos would ever get off her obama and get the vouchers done, Christians schools like this pop up all over the country, even here in the People’s republic of New England.
An armed good guy may or may not save the day, but six unarmed adults at Sandy Hook didn’t do so well using their body’s to shield 20 students.
My comment from another thread.
Cops in every school???? How did that work just last week?
NO, NO, NO!
The answer to armed guards in schools is armed TEACHERS!
Vetted, trained, volunteers with stipends, insurance, legal representation.
A concealed weapon RIGHT THERE in the CLASSROOM! Hallway, Gym.
No uniforms to give the identity of the guard’s identity away.
Not ONE guard for an entire school, but multiple undercover guards (teachers) all over the school.
Who wants to protect the kids more than teachers?
