ARMING OUR TEACHERS IS THE WORST AND MOST STUPID THING WE COULD DO!
Has anyone really thought this idiotic suggestion through? Can you imagine what would happen if a kid on drugs, or one who decided he / she was going to show the teacher a thing or two, or someone didn't get his / her homework done, or if a kid was just having a bad day and that kid decided to take the teacher's gun? What if the teacher accidently left the gun in a bathroom or lounge? If any of these things happened, how many students and teachers would end up injured or dead? There are so many scenarios where this could go wrong, and none that would be right.
How can we possibly give this type of responsibility to our teachers, who are already overworked and underpaid? If carrying a gun were part of a teacher's job description, how many good educators would we lose, and how many good people would not become teachers?Teenagers are by nature a bit volatile, they don't always think things through, and they don't always make the best decisions. We cannot do this to our educators; there has to be a better way.
