Like that suggestion. You are also putting a teacher and her students into a combat situation with no idea how anyone will actually perform.
Have more trained maybe ex-service people who have actually been in combat in some form or another protecting schools. That also might deter some shooters.
And the the use of none lethal force is also a good idea as suggested by another poster.
More peer-to-peer counseling and anti-in person and cyber bullying approaches to preventing violence.
