There were plenty of kids in my middle and high school years that an armed teacher would have murdered for their behavior.

Bad idea. Teachers aren’t immune from rage or mental illness. And 25 teens in a class is a perfect catalyst.

I had plenty of absent-minded, moronic, drunk, or mentally unstable teachers who could not have been trusted to keep a gun secure. Couple that with a few juvenile delinquent students who would leap at the chance to grab a gun and turn it on the teacher, other students, themselves, and I can only imagine what could go wrong. I agree, very bad idea.

Teachers will inevitably shoot students.

AND

One day a student will disarm a teacher and use their gun for violence.

Fun times ahead.
