Arkansas school to arm teachers

[KWILL]

I'm glad that none of my teachers were armed.

I went to a military high school JROTC. Most of my teachers were armed...

Good for them!

I just can't understand this mentality:
"Sherry Wommack said the program is one reason she's taking her son, an incoming eighth-grader, out of Clarksville's schools before the school year begins. Wommack said she doesn't believe teachers should make life-or-death choices involving students."

Uhm, lady ... by not allowing people to defend themselves and others (especially others that they're absolutely responsible for), you HAVE made a "life or death" choice.

I just have trouble wrapping my brain around her thought process. As long as there is a system to arm responsible teachers, just like responsible citizens who are non teachers. I would prefer for this to happen in my school district. Where I have three kids in public school!

It says it's just one of her reasons. It may not be the reason she's pulling her kid.

It says it's just one of her reasons. It may not be the reason she's pulling her kid.

Other reasons probably are:

My child doesn't get one on one attention from the teacher;
My child doesn't learn in a noisy classroom environment;
My child doesn't want to participate in P.E.;

More than likely, they moved to Arkansas from Seattle, and he's just a very sensitive child.

She's gonna' love driving her child to the nearest district, or pay for private schooling.

I'll leave this here for everyone to look at.

The school i work at is installing locked front doors where someone has to "buzz" visitors in.

Another similarity between prison and school.

An armed society is a polite society.

this is true.

I'll bet Somalia is a very polite place to live.
