Yeah they would need everything the nra opposes. Good or bad idea?gimmesometruth27 said:
so you are saying teachers would need all the things that the NRA opposes?mcgruff10 said:What do you guys think about having teachers carry? Would that be a deterrent ? An of course before they carry they d need training, backgroud check, mental health check, proper certification, annual tests....
i call bullshit, because this is trampling all over their freedom to have a gun.
just sayin.I'll ride the wave where it takes me......0 -
bad idea.
i know several teachers. most of them are more worried about making sure their dumbass kids learn the material on the standardized tests. every single one of them said they would quit teaching if they had to be charged with carrying a gun and defending their classroom. they went to college because they had a higher calling to be an educator. people don't go to college because they desire to make shit money and be a part of a union that is constantly being weakened. they went so they can educate the next generations. they did not go so they can play Conan the security professional."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

I want that gun that guy's got. I change my mind- guns are cool. Who'd mess with me? Callen would start pestering me on the DP thread and I'd send him a selfie with me and my gun.
He'd back off he would.
Nobody would mess with me. Nobody.

As a teacher in an inner city school the last thing I want to think about is taking a gun into school with my lesson plans for the day.mcgruff10 said:What do you guys think about having teachers carry?

I've never understood the line of thought of arming teachers. Has anyone ever bothered to asked or polled teachers if they want to carry a sidearm? Have those that pushed this idea ever met, or been around teachers? They're mostly a bunch of softies who despise any shape or form of violence. I've been in education for a while and know a lot of teachers from around the country. I can honestly say that I don't know of one educational professional who supports this idea or who wants to pack heat in the classroom. It's just bullshit dreamt up by the NRA to support their "Die Hard" ideology of everyone longing to be John McClain kicking ass and blasting away the bad guy.
Now I can support police in/outside of schools. But that costs money, so that isn't a feasible answer (at least to some people).0 -
Splicing teachers and security guards.
Forget sensible legislation.. just splice teachers with armed security guards and problem solved.

i've taught for 17 years and think it's a decent idea. maybe not every teacher in the school is armed but 2 or 3. like I said, just a thought.jerparker20 said:

Teachers need to teach, Scruffy. You know this. A gun in the classroom is not a good idea in any way, shape or form as far as I can tell.mcgruff10 said:

As soon as you do that.. the stories start to emerge:
1. Bullied kid grabs teacher's gun and kills students.
2. Angry student kills teacher with teacher's gun.
3. Teacher kills obnoxious student with gun.
4. Teacher kills other teacher over photocopy dispute.
5. Kindergarten students accidentally shoots self finding teacher's gun.
...
The scenarios are endless."My brain's a good brain!"0 -

Teachers also have to be alive to teach. I don't believe in forcing anyone to carry a gun but I do believe that the choice for a teacher to arm themselves should be theirs to make.Thirty Bills Unpaid said:

If I ever have children, I certainly wouldn't want them in a classroom with a gun, regardless of who possesses it. Luckily, it's not something I'll ever have to worry about0
