Should
Teachers’ be able to have a Gun in their Possession at School?
I
do not believe it is necessary for teachers to have guns at school. Honestly
school is a safe place, and I think most students and parents would say so too.
Otherwise if they didn’t, I’m sure way more kids would become home schooled.
Think
about it, where would the teacher keep the gun? Would it be a distraction? What
happens if a student goes crazy and ends up with the gun in his hand? All of
these questions have theoretically great points. Because what would you do as a
student or a teacher if a student took the gun from your possession and
threatened people with it? Things could end up being pretty nasty and scary.
Even if the kids know the gun is put away safe in the filing cabinet drawer,
some kids may become very paranoid and may feel very uncomfortable knowing such
an item is in the same room as them.
At
the following website, http://www.debate.org/opinions/should-teachers-have-weapons-in-their-classrooms-to-protect-students you can
find a pull as to why teachers should or should not have a gun in the classroom
and the reasoning behind it. On this website 29 percent of the people said yes
it is a good idea to have a weapon in the classroom and the remaining 71
percent said absolutely not! Something I found myself reading over and over
again for the people that disagree with having a gun in the classroom was that
how often is there a school shooting or break in? Granted Sandy Hook school
down in New Town was just broken into and shots were fired and innocent souls
recently doesn’t mean this happens multiple times a year. Yes there are cases
where if we would have made it a law to allow teachers to carry a gun this
horrible tragedy may not have occurred, but you can’t just look at it that way.
We can’t go back and try to make laws to stop things like shootings in schools
because if you try to stop something that happened somewhere else, it may have
just started up something new in your own community… (363)
