(775 posts)I'm aware of all the grief the NCLB act has brought. I've never seen more educational requirements for a low paying job.
Not everybody is cut out to use or carry a gun. In fact, I'd say that any teacher who said they wanted to carry a gun on campus and couldn't pass a psych evaluation (making sure they weren't paranoid of all the students) shouldn't be allowed to carry one. Their job could stay in place. They just couldn't carry a gun.
However, some people are cut out for it. I'm sure you've heard of "Troops to Teachers." I bet they're cut out for it. It could be a set of volunteers that people didn't know even had the guns.
Consider this idea. The school which Obama's daughters go to have guardsmen. Guess what they have? Guns. Their school is just fine. Those men guarding President Obama? Guess what they have? Guns. I guess that last point is a righty talking about, but it's true. I'll take it back when Obama gives up the armed guards.
