Buckle up. I am a teacher in a high school 20 minutes from Columbine. Although I have never experienced an active shooter situation, I have experienced dozens of lockdown drills and real lockdowns in my 5 years of teaching. During a lockdown you sit with your kids in a corner of your classroom with the lights off and wait for an announcement that the lockdown is over. You don't know if it is a drill, a response to a vague threat or neighborhood activity until it is over. One time I sat in a copy room with a handful of kids on student council until 7 pm because, we later learned, a man had gotten into a shootout with the police across the street after a bank robbery. But you never know what is causing it in the moment. You just sit there in the dark with a bunch of teenagers who are looking to you to tell them they're safe and ultimately keep them that way.
Suffice this to say that I know what is at stake, and an active shooter in a school is something that is on your mind regularly as a teacher. And every time you sit with 30 teenagers who are giggling to hide fear, or asking you to please just tell them its a drill, in the corner of your dark room you can't help but picture someone with a gun busting through the door and mowing you down where you sit. You can't help but wonder if you would have the presence of mind to get in front of your kids, or throw a chair at the attacker, or even stand up before you were killed.
Thank you for expressing this. So appreciative!

They are stressed enough as is, they don't need the extra stress of needing to shoot down a psychotic gun wielding intruder/fellow student. They aren't paid enough for their own work as a teacher, let alone now security guards.
I answered
Yes
We protect our valuables with armed guards, why not our kids? We can't pretend that evil doesn't exist in this world. The best way to fight evil is to prepare yourself.
I answered
No
Insanely terrible idea for a nearly infinite amount of reasons. Let's stop discussing the implementation of half-measures that will in the long run only serve to increase violence and gun manufacturer profits and solidify the school to prison pipeline. Instead, why don't we actually work to reduce the risk of mass shootings occurring in the first place.
I answered
No
I think it’s asking a bit much of our teachers to care for and nurture the learning abilities of our children, but also be prepared to kill them if they become a threat.
I answered
No
1. I don't understand how adding MORE guns to the equation will help. 2. With most mass shootings happening with an AR-15 what the hell is a teacher with a hand gun really going to be able to do? 3. This argument makes me irate.
I answered
No
Study after study has shown simply put that more guns does not equal less crime/violence and in fact leads to an increase in crime and violence. This will simply exacerbate the problem by adding more opportunity for mistakes.There were armed security at Columbine, at Parkland, Vegas, and Ft Hood is a God damn military base. It did not prevent anything
I answered
No
I can just see it leading to a rise in accidental shooting in panicky teachers who have guns and shouldn't, or teachers that end up leaving them where younger kids can get to them. Then I can also see older students fighting and trying to take them from the teacher.
I answered
Yes
Allowed. Not required.
I answered
No
why do they need weapons? they need books :)
