    Re: Arming teachers in Utah

    It's a risk with my scheme too. The scheme I developed is designed to be simple and absolute but there's a saying about plans and contact with the enemy.

    My scheme only really works if

    1) the teachers are willing to follow the plan no matter what

    And

    2) they can control their classroom. Panic can be contagious and if the students in the room panic and the instructor gives in than now you have a lot of scared kids plus an equally scared teacher with a gun locked in a room together

    If the teacher breaks script than you now have a new gunner on the prowl that is not a cop. If panic sets into the room then the scared and now lethal teacher may be tempted to use the gun to keep order. The scenario could work or it could go catastrophically sideways. I'm not entirely sure which is more likely and I'd prefer that if a school decides to test that the teachers pack tasers instead of guns.
    life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

    Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

    "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

    John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

    "You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."

    Aslan, Prince Caspian by CS Lewis

      And there are SOOOO many teachers who cannot control their classroom. I have trouble, on good days. And we ALL have bad days.

      RIP

      I have never been across the way
      Seen the desert and the birds
      You cut your hair short
      Like a shush to an insult
      The world had been yelling
      Since the day you were born
      Revolting with anger
      While it smiled like it was cute
      That everything was shit.
      - J. Wylder
