    I agree that teachers should not be allowed to have access to guns in school. I agree that guns is just another way for gun violence to increase and expand because, teacher may be trained to use guns, but what happens if a student gets control of a teachers gun, or a teachers feel threatened then you have a few teachers who will also abuse this new power such as police. A teachers job is to teach and provide us with knowledge and information. I feel safe with just a security guards and a metal detector that scans you before you walk into the building. This way the most that can happen is a fight, this is why I feel that teachers should not have access to guns to “defend” the students and themselves.

      I agree with this post because the Department of Education doesn't pay teachers to protect the students. They pay them to teach students education. Plus, if they have a student with disabilities and if they injures someone, the teacher could be held responsible for the injuries of the person the disabled kid injured.

    3. Nicholas P. I agree with this post because he speaks about how the teacher might misuse this power and if they feel they are threatened they could use it against a student. One thing I disagree with is the part where he mentions he feels safe with only a metal detector and security which I don't believe can keep us safe. If someone comes in the building with a gun they can start shooting before they get to the scanners.The security guards do not have any way to protect us and they would run away to save themselves.

      I agree that the teachers should not be allowed to have access to guns because that is not the job for the teacher. I think that this is for a security guard to handle.If the teaches is allowed to handle guns this means that the gonna need to be trained to deal with what ever happens next.A teacher is not suppose to be able to teach and be ready to shoot a student with the gun if they are coming to harm other students.I think the schools just need a more superior security system to not get guns into the schools to begin with because this would be better than giving guns to teachers because a teacher could also bring harm to students with a gun.In conclusion the schools not give the teachers guns and upgrade the security

    Teachers Carrying guns to school will not at all help the situation. In fact in may make it worse. For example in one of the videos it states having a gun means having influence and power, If teachers were giving guns think about the students who the teachers have no control over and normally misbehave. The teacher will most likely come to the conclusion that if he/she flashes the gun they will for sure have control. Out of retaliation possibly the student may have a weapon as well and feel threatened and may shoot the teacher. Giving teachers guns will not solve anything.

      I agree that using a weapon gives a person the need to always be in power, when students misbehave it is for certain that the teacher would use the weapon as a leverage to make controlling the class room easier and efficient, but that false knowledge would only give rise to violence and more school shootings

    Teachers should not be armed while teaching classes due to many incidents that can occur. Some teachers may take advantage of the law of being armed while teaching. Also, the weapon can land into the wrong hands and many negative things can happen. Students will often get distracted with the fact that their teacher is armed and less work will be done in the classroom environment. Then there's students that may try to touch it and or play with it. School safety officers should be armed but not teachers. Many people would then want to become a teacher just so they can receive a weapon and if fallen into the wrong hands chaos can occur. According to Video Number 2, it states, "weapons should be banned and no civilian should have one." I agree with that opinion because innocent people are losing their lives due to senseless acts of violence when it can all be avoided if weapons were banned. Where and how would the teacher safe guard a firearm and is any time a good purpose to use it? That would be promoting violence throughout the school system. Teaching students that using weapons is the only way to make any environment safe. I do understand that the rate of active shooters within the public school system is going up but to shoot someone in front of students would be traumatic. Children would be afraid to go to school. How could you learn in a fearful environment.

    Teacher should not be armed with weapons nor should there be armed gaurds. Having armed gaurds would cause students to feel uncomfortable in an learning environment. In the YouTube video of cnn, where cnn interviews some students. The interviewers asked the students should schools have armed gaurds, one of the students replied and said “adding arm gaurds would make the school feel like a prison”. In the first video, the question, “should teachers carry arms?” Was asked. The lady in the interview responded and said, “Teachers are not funded enough to be able to carry arms” she also said, “placing armed teachers in school wouldn’t work for every community due to the diversity in culture”. In conclusion schools should be gun free, the government should put more restrictions on weapons.

    I do not agree with teachers having guns. Just because you never know what you can get with a person. It could be one day that a teacher just flips out and becomes the “ School Shooter”. Then what’s going to happen ? Who is going to protect the students then?. I also disagree because imagine the student grabs the gun or tries to take it and it goes off accidentally hit a student or fellow teacher ?. Also in one of the videos a female student said “ if teachers have guns , security guards , has it as well it’s not going to feel like a school it’s going to feel like a prison . Who wants to send their child to a school that feels like a protection program having to look over their shoulder every minute instead of learning?. There is so much things that people have to take into consideration when it comes to stuff like this .

    Should we give lethal weapons to teachers with no experience? Teachers should not bare arms under the care of students. In video #2 a group of students were interviewed about their thoughts on him control. The high school students agreed that guards armed with a pistol are better than inexperienced teachers. Also extending the age requirement of owning a gun.All in all having teachers own a gun is a bad idea and should be handled by professionals.

    I strongly disagree that teachers should not be allowed to wield guns in school. First of all it is not a teacher's job to do anything more than teach,they need to focus on their profession."It takes trained professionals to protect people" was said in the first video and I strongly agree, we have professionals to deal with this kind of situations, its the job of a policeman, military or even security to protect people and it's the teacher's job to teach. This shouldn't even be a suggestion it's outrageous to think hownthis is the solution we came to, fighting fire with fire. If the teachers were granted guns then they would be no better than a student with a gun, we already have innocent lives being lost to police, the people who are supposed to protect us are killing us and now we want to more guns to more people. Now student would be going to school in fear because any teacher can snap as easily as a student who choose to shoot a school, they are human with emotions just like a student and they can negatively act on it, just like a school shooter.

  8. I believe that teachers should be prohibited from using or bringing in guns at school. A reason why is because teachers are here to teach knowledge and information to help students prepare for the future, not show guns. As shown in the first video, the idea of having teachers use guns is the most ridicolous idea that's ever heard. The Department of Education doesn't pay teachers to protect, but to teach. People would think that it would be a good idea, but what if someone else like a student that is disabled or has a disorder takes the gun. That kid could injure someone and can also get the teacher into big trouble. It's better if you have security screening or security guards in school because they will actually find out if an unauthorized person enters the building. They are here to ensure safety to everyone.

    Teachers having guns to protect kids doesn't sound like a good outcome. If someone what to come to attack kids it would be a shooutout between the enemy and the teachers. The teachers would treat the weapon as a tool in class in case kids dont decide to listen. A teachers job is NOT to protect but to teach. If the teacher had a gun the kids would see the teacher having and they would want one too. Some kids would harm others and themselves. Other kids would use for power and control. Teachers with guns is a very bad idea.

  12. Nickolai Lyubin - Period 2

    I am biased with teachers being able to have guns in school. On one side, it does provide protection along with school safety. On the other side, it does build up the fear that said teachers will use them for other means in a school. Yes, they may get fired, but lives would still be lost or at stake.

    Pros: With all the recent school shootings that we had here in the United States, fear has increased tenfold. We as a country have been trying to figure out the best ways to avoid these shootings from both happening and spreading. Having teachers to use guns in school will maybe give us an advantage in "stopping the enemy". As for weapons, maybe have something like dart guns with sleep darts so that blood wouldn't have to be spilled across a school. Maybe also have tasers so that the person would be immobilized and not really be able to do anything else.

    Cons: Safety is important, but we don't want any backstabbers in a school. Say for example a teacher is harassed by another teacher or even a student (though that sounds a bit rhetorical). Next thing you know, they use the 9mm that they had in their locker and kill that person that harassed them and maybe even a couple of other people. Again, even though they would be fired, there would still be dead bodies or traumatized teachers and students. It might also raise the suspicion that teachers might use the guns that they had to kill their own students in the classroom. Shots will be heard and the students in that classroom would be dead. This is something that we should never let happen in a school.

    Conclusion: This is a very complicated topic and is best left for the US Government to answer. We do need protection, but we also need to make sure that said protection is used against us. Like with The Onion Router (TOR), the ability for teachers to be able to use guns in school can and will be used for licit and illicit purposes.

      I noticed that you made a point about using tasers or sleep darts to immobilize the enemy. I agree with your point. I wouldn't want to have to kill anymore people. I also wouldn't want there to be a bloody scene in the school because students and teachers will see it and that image will most likely be ingrained in their minds for a long time.

  13. I believe Teachers should not be able to carry guns in school. One reason being is teachers are under a lot of stress and pressure, so who's to stop them from using it on students if their not in the right mindset. Another reason is students that cant get their hands on a gun can try and disarm a teacher and the gun is basically being handed to the student because the teacher is bringing it to the classroom for them. In general, guns make people nervous its known, if you ever see someone on the street carrying a gun would you be worried? I would be worried if the person is going to start shooting. What im trying to say is keep the guns to the officers or have police posted outside of schools for our protection. Nicholas P.

      I notice how you said teachers can sometimes be stressed, and how they may use the gun on the student due to stress. I agree with your point because teachers can be overwhelmed with stress and probably be at a low point in their life, and may use the gun for their own purposes or taking the stress out on the kids.

    To start, guns are a very dangerous weapon that have had a big effect on my neighborhood. For anyone to own a gun must be planning on using it at some point in their life no matter if its for a good or bad reason. So that gets me to my point that teacher should not and should not have to carry a gun under any circumstances.For a teacher to carry a gun for protection against another human being is the same as a kid carrying a gun for protection against a bully. Also with weapons in the building any body can get their hands on one which can lead to some very bad things happening. If i was a parent sending my kids to a school where the teacher is carrying a gun I would feel very uncomfortable due to the fact that any tragic event I see on the news and in movies everyday can actually happen. To be honest, if no civilians was aloud to have a gun this topic wouldn't have even been thought of and lots of people would be alive now. Like said in video 1 " if the shooter didn't have a gun he would've never went to shoot anybody up ".

    I don't think teachers should be allowed to carry guns in school. School isn't a war zone.  It is a place where kids should feel safe at and it's a place of learning. Some of these kids might be scared of their teachers because their teachers have a gun on them. Teachers should be building a relationship with their students instead of putting fear in their hearts. We need start putting in metal detectors and highly trained veterans and officers around school areas so kids know and feel safe,  knowing that they'll go home at the end of the day. We need more background checks and we need to keep guns away from the mentally ill people because they shouldn't be allowed to carry any guns at all. Mentally I'll people do not even understand their own mindset!

    Teachers shouldn't be allowed to carry guns with them in class. It might just make the situation worse. In the first video resource, President Trump said that the teachers will go to training, but teachers will most likely panic when there's an actual school shooting. They will probably forget what they have learned during training. They should add metal detectors in schools and everyone that wants to get in the school they have to go through the metal detectors. I feel that parents already feel that there kids are in a safe place when the school has security guards and metal detectors.

    in America there is the debate of whether or not to arm teachers with guns. I think the intention behind it is great but actually doing it doesn't make sense to me. first of all, not all teachers will want to have a gun in the classroom. secondly, there has to be some kind of training for handling a gun. but my main concern are the students. what if a teacher gets overly upset with a student and just decides to shoot them? what if a student gets a hold of a gun? what about the trauma it'll have on the students, younger kids especially? do we really want the youngsters to be surrounded by guns on a daily basis? seems to me like that'll be teaching them that guns are the answer to their problems. somewhere in the first video, the man says "to stop a bad guy with a gun, there needs to be a good guy with a gun." that's just furthering the belief that adding more guns is going to get rid of the already existing gun problem. I understand the desire to keep yourself and others safe, however, I don't think arming teachers is the way to do it.

    Teachers shouldn't be allowed to carry guns in school. A teacher armed with a gun will raise more danger for the students. A classroom is the last place a gun should be. School is a place of learning and it would be hard to learn knowing my teacher has a gun in his/her pocket. With strong metal detectors and well trained security guards schools would be safe. Banning assault rifles are also a great option because they are not needed.

    I personally disagree that teachers should be given guns. for example trump says in video #1 that teachers would go for special training and have concealed guns in school. I don't agree with that statement do to the fact that teachers would harass students to do their work while having a gun pointed at them. students would often steal guns from teachers increasing school shootings making schools chaotic and unsafe. The reason why there are so many school shootings will most likely be same reason why it would be a teacher pulling the trigger, for example if every student is messing around making fun of the teacher and being chaotic the teacher would " accidently " shoot a student . if we give teachers guns more lives would be at risk instead of lives being saved. teachers get tired of students and often lash out but with a sense of supremacy they will be pulling the trigger on a student that is just messing around.

    I think that teachers shouldn't contradict their arguments with doing the same thing their trying to prevent.Trying to prevent gun violence & owning a firearm doesn't make sense, it defeats the purpose to stop gun violence.Imagine a school shooter walks in a classroom & starts shooting, then the teacher grabs his/her gun & shoots the threat, someone still ends up dead & guess what... that's gun violence.But if the government feels that's the way school needs to be safe then make sure whoever owns the firearm is experienced & professionally trained. Also, teachers would not be able to make an effect anyway, teachers would be allowed to own handguns, but school shooters can come in with high capacity magazines, semi automatic weapons, & can also kill 17 teenagers faster in less time than a handgun will. Overall i feel like its just a bad idea to bring more guns to stop guns as if it doesn't make it worse. Lastly, I also don't agree with what trump said teachers would be trained because it wouldn't better the purpose.

    I believe teachers shouldn’t carry guns to school. One reason is teacher are not paid to carry guns, they are paid to teach students and prepare them for their future. Another reason teachers would be under pressure and accidently shoot one of the kids, instead of the shooter when the situation actually happens. In video 2 one of students said if the teachers carry guns it would just increase the violence. If teachers carry guns they going to think they could control the students.

    I believe that teachers shouldn't carry guns to school. One reason is that not all teachers are alike,what if a teacher and a student got in an argument and the teacher don't like the student and shoot him because of what he said and not self-defense. If teachers carry guns in schools they'll feel like they have more power than any one else in the building. If the shooter and the teacher got in a shootout, who's to say that each bullet is going to hit there target. Putting guns in the school is promoting guns instead of getting them off the street.

    1. I agree the last thing we should do is bring guns to schools this will do nothing but cause more problems. Just like every other person on this planet teachers have feelings too such as anger, and sorrow. For example if a student is arguing with a teacher and the teacher doesn't feel safe the teacher may pull a gun out on the student and this will only promote more gun violence.

  31. I believe teachers should not have a gun. Many aspects of school are already treated like a prison having guns in the picture would ruin the school environment. Another thing is teachers are not used to hostile situations and will most likely not be able to handle or hesitate in times of need. Instead of targeting school shooters we should be trying to prevent them and solve the problem. Also how much would it cost to arm and train school teachers in a already low budget education syestem. Teachers already have enough power and privileges they abuse as it is so it would not be suitable for teachers to be armed.

    In my opinion teachers should not be able to carry guns. I say that because even if the teachers are trained with a weapon in their possession it increases danger for both the students and teachers. what if one day a teacher looses it from students being disrespectful or other causes what if that teacher pulls the gun out on a the students. further more what if a student gained access to a teachers weapon then causes a school shooting. Also some students wont feel safe with a gun in their face like Kirsten Evans said "its important for me to feel safe in my school and weither or not they think its important for me to feel safe in my school". even if their trained if a student was to gain access to their gun they wouldn't be able to control it.

  33. Gregory deoleo P2 I believe teachers shouldn't need to have guns in school because there are security officers in the school. I also think that teachers may use their guns for other things such as forcing your authority and controlling a classroom. there's also a possibility that the shooter will go for the armed teacher first to take down any resistance.I also think that it will not solve much because it depends how close the teacher is to the shooter since a lot of schools are rather large and long.I think its pretty sad time that we need to actually need to arm teachers. I doubt a lot of teachers will have the guts to shoot there own student.

  34. Daunte Knight Period 3, I believe teachers shouldn't need to carry guns because its already other people who are required to. Adding more guns to respond to a situation that involves guns will only bring out a negative outcome. You cannot respond to violence with violence as said in video 3 because that's just defeating the purpose. A solution I can give like the solutions that are given in video 2 if u don't want to ban the use of all guns at least ban some . There shouldn't be any reason as to why a civilian should be walking around with a AR-15 like they are in the military that is extremely on call for and America is probably the only country to do this foolishness . How many more lives do we have to lose until we finally see a change in this country. Do you really want your kids waking up knowing or thinking that its a possibility they wont come home by just going to school. Kids shouldn't grow up or be susceptible to this type of environment, we need to see a change and we need to see it now .

    In my opiniĆ³n teachers should not be allow to carry guns to school. President Trump is taking this as a opportunity to sell more guns and to make a profit out of it . He is not thinking of his people and the students safety. Teachers who will be allow to carry guns to school can have mental issues and if we allow that to happen ,it could lead to a caos. The president said he was going to do background checks and training for all the teachers to “ensure” the safety of students. It’s not about the mental background checks, we will be giving too much power to a teacher over any individual. Therefore, that’s not the best option , according to video #2 a student said, “ There is a lot of other ways to protect the school and the students and one of them is to take the gun away from people” and I agree because even the background checks can not ensure us that the teacher does not have mental issues, a lot of criminals who did not had mental issues backgrounds have done atrocities to people. Moreover, some students will not be focus on the work that has to be done and the things that they have to learn but maybe afraid of the teacher having a gun is his/her hands. Students will start growing up in a new environment where the answer to stop violence is more violence, this is ignorant and wrong and maybe like that will be creating more criminals in this world.

  36. On paper the idea of teachers having guns sounds like a good idea but there are far to many things that can go wrong if a teacher were to be left with the responsibility of having a gun in the classroom. We have been making an effort to get guns off the streets so having guns in a school will only make matters worst. Lorenzo.H pd 2
