RE: Arming Our Teachers Won’t Solve the Issue

it is interesting that many of the he-men film stars like Charlton Heston or Tom Selleck are staunch supporters and leaders in the NRA - as an ex-teacher who knows teachers I can assure you that arming teachers is a terrible idea. Simply remove weapons of mass destruction - as for the root cause of mass shootings, it's murky but generally I don't see women doing Rambo style massacres - it's not macho to carry a big stick - I broke up knife fights in the toughest area of Toronto without putting down my briefcase and I write poetry, lol

Sort:  

Imagine teachers accepting to get the guns and have them with them. Then we should start wondering about the teachers and the whole education system...

Imagine if you did put your briefcase down. :)

You should ask John to write about how his brand new car was beaten with baseball bats and the upholstery ripped with knives - all windows smashed and coca cola poured into the gas tank. The man survived, but the car, not so much. Why did it happen? A student who was in his summer school class missed x number of classes so John told him he wouldn't be able to catch up and he wouldn't pass him.

My goodness....

Thankful John was ok through all of that.

Yes me too. It wasn't too many years after this that I convinced him to retire early. Things were getting too violent at that school and I was worried.
