Very true. Does this suugest that the students will be having guns too or? In class you will be watching for out any attack instead of teaching. It will interfere will the learning environment greatly and negatively in this sense.teacherjh wrote: ↑17 Apr 2018, 11:46 As a teacher I am dismayed at the current suggestion that classroom teachers be armed. I don't like the continuing trend to live in fear. We keep adding more laws and so called protections instead of dealing with the real problem. The question should not be 'where did that school shooter get a gun' but 'how can we deal with all the pain in the human heart that makes a person turn to violence'?

I think the idea is that if a shooter were attacking the school, I could protect my students with the gun. My thought is that it would be much more likely that i would be disarmed and make the situation worse. Plus it could be a distraction in class. I am not against guns or self-defense but I don't want one in my classroom.Very true. Does this suggest that the students will be having guns too or?

True. There is need for personal responsibility.SkyeDragon wrote: ↑20 Apr 2018, 04:24 I believe guns are a useful tool when used responsibly. As for protecting one's self, a gun is not always the best option for most people. If you are in a job or situation where your life can be threatened at any time there may be merit to having a gun for protection, but with this gun comes a high responsibility to ensure it is used responsibly. I do not have any issue with those who own guns and use them responsibly.

As a kid, I have seen my father go out at night with long sharp objects or machetes for protecting the family. This has happened frequently when we lived in the rural areas. Although he has never harmed anyone. I am imagining if he really had a gun. We all know how pulling a trigger is easier than raising a sharp object to complete a task.
