I agree that most teachers aren’t going to do it or even do it well, but those that want to should be enabled to carry
Last resort thinking though. We would be better served with more proactive security at schools.
Every secure business I’ve worked at had revolving doors activated by badge access or something similar. Every student has an RFID badge they use for lunch and snacks. Why not use that to gain entry into the facility. In the AM the doors are wide open for these secured campuses. Our school has the kids and parents walk through the office to enter the campus. Guess what? Nobody is EVER there to see who comes and goes. At least pretend. Just one more step to have to take for a nut job to gain entry.
More importantly, why are kids who are behavior issues allowed to get anywhere near a school, much less attend even though they were expelled? This is mind boggling to me. Education is a privilege, not a right. Your access to education is a right. Screw it up and tough titties IMO.
We keep putting people at risk to accommodate the bad apples. 90% of the time that risk is loss of educational experience cause teachers are farting around with the retards. The others it’s violence or other serious issues. What makes their rights more imports than the others’?
