I pretty much agree with everything you said. I would go along with arming teachers, assuming they receive the same training as police officers are given for active shooter situations. And other shooting training. Of course we would have to pay for that training, which is not teaching.
But, whether they are armed or not, anything we do at the school will impact the teachers to some degree. Any lock down procedures. And active shooter situation procedures the teachers have to be trained for to protect the children, etc.
But, until we have a real solution, I am willing to meet the "other side" half way in trying to implement things that might/should help. This is one they feel strongly about. As long as the teachers are not required to carry weapons I can see letting it happen.
BUT, Not the way Ohio is. 24 hours of training? Not with my child in that teachers class. With 24 hours of training that teacher is more likely a danger to the children. Give them the same training that any one else is given for these situations.
