[quote=Anonymous]I’m a liberal who doesn’t have a gun and do
Not want one in my house and I would be all for armed guards in high schools IF I didn’t hear of many girls who have been hit on by bored adult security officers in other schools. And high schools are HUGE. Shooter goes in one door, it takes 5 minutes for the security officer (who may not be in good shape to move fast) to get anywhere near the incident. I do not think it’s the deterrent some of you actually think it is.

I’m also a an ES teacher and I can assure you that most teachers would be terrible armed—one—many of us are perimenopause or post and get poor sleep. —two—the amount of multi tasking we have to do to get through the day is unreal and the calculations to take the gun and aim it at a shooter in order to not kill any students takes the brain of someone who can focus fully and calmly on ONE thing and —three—all that without DISTRACTIONS and heightened emotions when there’s a shooter in the school.
—four—kids are unhinged these days. If they knew every teacher was carrying a weapon, many of them would try to figure out how to get it from the teacher; joke about getting it from the teacher, get it from the teacher. And kids with big anxiety? Forget about it. They’ll rarely learn if they know there’s a GUN in the classroom. And yes they’ll know because parents talk about everything in front of their kids thinking they’re not listening (they are, they talk about it in class).

None of “arming all the teachers” actually makes sense in the real world. [/quote]
