Interesting. Be curious to see how this plays out long term and if more/other states follow suite.

Every time this issue pops up I think back to the time my junior year the Trigonometry teacher spent 30 minutes talking about the benefits of his suicide in front of our class.

I sure that inspired confidence….

Give him a break. Trig sucked as a student. Could you imagine having to teach that stuff to high school kids?

We don’t even pay teachers enough to teach; now we’re adding this to their plate?

Thank you for that observation.
Seriously.

I don't remember where it was located but there was a recent news story about a school that was allowing armed teachers. Seems like there are more than we know about. I approve.

Idaho thinking:

These teachers are awful and are brainwashing our kids. Let’s fund the schools to the bare minimum

Also the teachers should have guns

Google "student attacks teacher" and see how this could go really wrong. Just a matter of time for some teacher "defends" themself. And I can't really fault them. I could never do that job without the ability to put kids in chokehold.

Arm Walmart greeters as well. Maybe street sweeper mounted on one of those motorized carts they use.

Right, and teachers are paying for school supplies out of their pockets.

Wonder who gets to pick up the tab for firearms and ammo?

Parents also chip in for school/classroom snacks, etc. Maybe let more of that administrator pay trickle down to the teachers. Of course in some parts of the country, teachers unions have recently achieved material increases in pay.

My sister is a teacher in ID and is counting the days to retire.

Guns for teachers is what we need for sure. The school system is about to implode nation wide IMO.

I don't know, certain groups sound a bit short of cash.

Unless I read it wrong it says they are allowed to, not required to?
