FUNDING! Who is going to pay for all these teachers to get training, much less buy guns?
I actually think arming teachers is not a bad idea at first glance. Except that you know the money will come out of the music and arts budgets, because nobody will want an increase in property taxes to pay for this. And teachers are already horribly underpaid, so forcing them to pay for it out of their own pockets isn't going to help, either.
I also think we should bring back corporal punishment in schools. I think that went a long way to keeping all these sweet little children more respectful towards their teachers and their fellow students. |
