(15,320 posts)37. Why does it seem like I have no faith in teachers?
I have all the faith in the world in my kids' teachers. But if someone claimed they could teach them brain surgery, I'd have to disagree all the same. That isn't evidence of my lack of faith in them, is it?
Where did I say not to address guns at all? Just don't sell parents a bill of goods by implying you're making guns safer for their kids with these safety courses that don't work.

So, you're saying that it doesn't work, but you offer NO proof, so we shouldn't teach safety at all?

Well, if only we could send you and your gun safety teachings into every home in America.

You don't seem to have a lot of faith in teachers, yet you say you can teach them how to behave.
