I've thought about this a lot and am very hesitant.

Training sounds great but to actually become proficient in a combat situation takes a whole lot more than sending someone to a weekend class. How much training is the school willing to provide? How much training are the teachers willing to go through?

Will the teachers be indemnified for their actions when they screw up?

Most of the schools in the area I live have been somewhat hardened. Meaning you have to go through a door or gate to gain access. They also have at least one Sheriff Deputy on campus during school hours.

I think in some cases where a teacher might be a vet or former LEO it might work. But I'm still skeptical on whether teachers can actually receive adequate training and maintain the level of competence required to perform when the SHTF..
