It should be a requirement for all teacher applicants that they possess not only a quality and approved firearm, but also receive training and carry specific certifications BEFORE they even apply for a teaching position. Once hired, they are required to test out every year they are employeed as a teacher or substitute teachers.

They should also be required to have passed several courses in actual crisis management, restraining out of control individuals, etc. along the exact same lines as those who work with the mentally ill or with "troubled" youth.

And they would need to pay for this training themselves, prior to even being considered for employeement.

Yeah that will not work - But a group of teachers, A Well Regulated Milita if you will, is more in the realm of possibility. Same ideas you have but not mandatory for all. I think people would be surprised how many teachers and admins would actually go for this. Crisis Management is needed, big time. Most teachers and admins turn into a soup sandwich at any hint of crisis.

There are a lot of low cost measures that can be put in place to slow any intruder down enough that a QRF police unit could get to the school in time to have an effect.

arent they all supposed to be quick reactionary forces?

I cannot see Hicksville affording a QRF team when they can barely afford the deputy they just hired with DHS Funds.

Uh it CAN work, it works in other countries and there is not ONE THING other than libtard BS that would prevent it from working in this country. As a bonus, the gun hating left might actually refuse to follow simple requirements, not be able to be teachers, and our kids might actually learn something of value.

Tell me what country has mandatory armed teachers? Deescalation training sure, restraint? I don't think a lot of teachers are in physical shape to do that.

If they cant do the job, then they dont get the job. Simple.

Might even help with the obesity issues in this country.
Might help with the Litard crap spewing from our schools
Would be a lot nicer than having uniformed officers patroling the halls
Would be a lot safer than waiting for an officer to run from one end of the building to the other, then up two flight of stairs, to deal with a situation.
Might actually instill a sense of safety and confidense in the teaching staff and lead to similar feelings in the students.

I don't want armed guards at my kids school...we are not a 3rd world country that needs military presence in every public location

The easy answer is to allow CCW's to CCW in school. Just one teacher with a permit could have stopped the carnage.
