10 Reasons Why Teachers Should not be Armed with Guns

Teachers Should not be Armed with Guns
Armed teachers does not mean that children are studying well.

Safety in schools has become a huge issue. There seems to be no foolproof way to secure schools from danger. Most schools have an emergency protocol when it comes to intruder concerns. These plans, however, often do not cover every scenarios. Many school buildings are not designed for defense. Older school buildings often have open courtyards and a large number of entrance points. Locking doors and hiding does not always work, either. There is also the question of what to do about windows that do not resist bullets, as well. Arming teachers is just one solution that does not work

in every perceived situation.

In a perfect world, arming teachers would add a significant amount of protection in the school environment. Unfortunately, there are many risks associated with this idea. There are also moral objections. There is no way to satisfy school officials, parents, and the general public. Students may be put at risk of injury or death in the event of accidents, as well. Even with proper training a teacher with a gun may not be able to take out a shooter.

There are too many negative aspects of arming teachers. Attempting to push the issue may cause more issues than it solves. When it comes to classrooms, many people are against bringing items in that represent violence. Exposing kids to guns on a daily basis is not what school is for. Here are the 10 reasons why teachers should not be armed with guns.
