Devin, like you I struggled with what we can do to keep our kids and teaerchs safe. The teaerchs that died willingly gave their lives to protect their children as any educator would. And like our school, theirs had state of the art security systems with electronic lockdown and background checks on all visitors. But these shootings happen very quickly and in a school of any reasonable size, the response time would be limited with teaerchs attention likely focused on getting their students to safety, not taking down a shooter. Putting guns in schools is the quick and seemingly obvious answer. However as a teacher in a large school, I have to disagree. No amount of training, levelheadnesses, and preparation can account for all the variables a day in a large public school can throw at you. Having the responsibility of a weapon on top of everything else is not something any sane teacher would want. Kids get in to everything and the possibility of an accident or a disgruntled student gaining access makes this idea a bad one on all fronts. I would not work in a school where I knew weapons were present in any capacity and would not allow my children to attend such a school either. There is not a clear, easy answer, but guns won’t make schools safer.
