SHOULD TEACHERS BE ARMED WITH GUNS?

My name is Akinsanya Oluwafunmbi. The purpose of this essay is to oppose Donald Trump’s idea that teachers should be armed in schools. I believe that it would be a really bad idea and I will explain why in the subsequent paragraphs.

Firstly, I believe that not all people have the composure to handle a gun. A teacher’s job is to teach and that does not involve the use of a gun. Plus, it is a common occurrence in most schools for students to frustrate their class teachers and its most likely that they could frustrate the teacher down to the point where the teacher could pull out the gun or even shoot the student.

Also, there will be a massive drop in the grades of students because the students will be afraid to meet their teachers to explain what they do not understand, so in  the end instead of the knowledge and understanding of the students to increase they only suffer in silence as a result of fear.

Finally, In the case of an actual shooting the teacher might not get a clear shot and shoot one of the students or might even hurt himself  as a result of panicking.

Should Teachers Be Armed With’ Guns?

The idea of arming teachers with guns can be a good and bad idea. Looking at it from the president’s perspective it is good but looking at it from the students and parent’s perspective it is indeed bad. I for one think it is a bad idea.

Firstly, I don’t like the idea because it can cause harm to the life of the students. For instance, a scenario whereby a teacher is a type of person who gets easily frustrated or angered it can lead to a very bad consequence. For example, if the students in that class annoy the teacher, the teacher may get so angry to a point that he may use the gun on the student. Not necessarily killing the student but the teacher can seriously injure the student.

Secondly, I think the idea is bad because if teachers start getting themselves armed with guns it will make the students scared, the students will not be able to approach the teacher especially if the teacher seems like someone who gets easily angry. So, if the teacher explains something and the student doesn’t understand the student will rather fail the subject than meet the teacher for further explanation.

Furthermore, I think it is a bad idea because even if there happens to be a shooting massacre, not everyone is capable of using a gun properly. If this happens and the teacher panics, he may mistakenly use the gun on one of the students instead.

Conclusively, instead of arming teachers with guns, I think more security should be provided at schools because that way teachers and students will have a good relationship and any type of shooting massacre would be avoided.

No , Teachers should not have guns in school. That is a terrible idea . There is many reasons to support my claim. Using guns to stop gun violence just dont make sense .
Teachers do have classes that get out of control at times. One day a teacher might lose their temper and do something they will regret. Students being surrounded by guns everyday might influence them to have violent behaviors inside and outside of school.Me personally would not feel comfortable sitting in classes with loaded guns everyday.
In conclusion this is why guns should not be allowed in schools for the teachers to carry.

i feel like teachers in this area are too childish to be armed. i say this because there are teacher in the building who act just like students. and there is a safety issue because i teacher could pressure a student into sexually acts. also i student could take the weapon from the teacher from where the teacher is holding it and use it

I think teachers should not be able to have guns because schools already have police officers in them in case something does happen.

Since the school has police officer in the school, if an intruder comes the police officer can do something or hold it down until back up comes.

Secondly I personally do not feel comfortable with the teacher teaching me something and has a gun in his room, especially if the teacher gets mad.

Then since teachers signed up to teach I do not think they will be ready to handle that type of responsibility and because of that you might lose some teachers.

In conclusion, teachers should not have guns because it might not be necessary and they did not ask for that occupation.

i think teacher should not carry guns.
according to president trump he wants schools to be save as the banks ,the banks have security officers  going in to and fro in the banks, i will also say that law enforcement or arm forces should be provided in the school .also the ALICE drills done in schools should be use full and helpful in school.
Also teachers must also not carry gun because they can use it on student if they are provoked and get angry easily so it is not good.

I think teachers should have a gun somewhere safe and whenever it's a situation in the classroom or in the school. I think it was a good statement because what if the police get shot down and the school shooter come in the classroom, then the teacher is going to have too do something then. Trump would add a bonus for the teachers that are qualified to have a permit to carry weapons in there classrooms, Just for extra safety for themselves and the kids in the classrooms. Just like Trump said ''I want my schools protected just like i want my banks''. They shouldn't have active shooting drills though i don't agree with that.

I think  teachers shouldn't be able to carry around guns because that teacher might backlash at a student with the weapon and then that case that people might suffer a greater amount of lost inside the school

I think teachers should have guns but they should be in a certain room and have a password and when someone opens it everyone should get an alert in the school on the announcements so everyone would be aware and ready to leave the building or at least hide.

If they do have guns their should be also a good amount if rules that they have to follow and and type of obstetrical that they have to do to be trust worthy with a gun if they do choose to carry it they should have an option to carry it or put it in the room to see how they feel.

The teachers and the principle should have a meeting about the situation and make sure everyone comes to agreement about what they can and cant do with the guns so the kids can be safe and everyone in the school including their self with the gun they have to make sure they know when the safety is off and on and how to shoot.

I think teachers should not carry guns because some people are heartless and don't care about anything and they might go after the children. If Trump give the teachers gun use then I think he should have a system to where the teachers turn there gun in at the end of the school day and they get it back in the beginning of the school day for the children's safety.

I do not think teachers should be armed with guns.

I don't believe that teachers should be armed with guns because if they were, it might be chaotic. We don't know what a teacher could be thinking, and if they were to suddenly snap, there'd be a huge problem. Not to mention it'd be worrisome for the student's family as well. It just wouldn't be safe for the students and or teachers and staff.

So no, I don't believe that teachers should be armed with guns

I do not think that teachers or anyone should be armed with guns. My reaction has not changed.

I have two words " FOR WHAT".

If teachers want to carry a gun they need to be trained for what may happen cause I'm not dying cause a teacher wants to have a gun. Teachers need to teach, that's what they get paid for and that's what they went to school for.

It would be interesting for schools to have metal detectors. I don't have an opinion about more police officers but I wouldn't mind only if they are good at their job.

They can be a lot more careful and observe their surroundings, that's all.

I feel as tho that statement is really dumb because just cause you label someone as highly adept doesn't mean they are capable of handling a weapon when interacting with kids or teens cause some teachers could get mad and do some dumb stuff or even a kid/teen could get a hold of the weapon and put other people in danger.
