Due to the national teacher shortage, there are many many adults in classrooms "teaching" with no educational background...
no child psychology courses; no pedagogy courses; no training on how to actually teach. Yet they "teach" on a daily basis.
Starting teacher pay and benefits in most states equal approximately what a manager at a fast food restaurant earn (with no college degree). The Villages Charter school pays teachers $40,000 a year.
Why on earth would anyone WANT to go to college to teach AND carry a gun?
What kind of person will teaching attract?
A compassionate one who looks out for students best interest or Rambo looking for his next fight?
I am 100% for safety and security for our most precious and vulnerable citizens (children), but arming teachers is not the answer.
Hire more security. Bring in professionals who have made it their life mission to serve and protect.
Let teachers teach kindness and problem solving and teamwork and Math and whatever subject area they excel in.
Leave the police work for police.
