Gun Monkey Follies: arming teachers

[archives]

Here's someone born and bred in the state who is now pointing something incredibly stupid being done by his local government ... but it might as well be every state in the USA. Check it out:

Great, so now in addition to requiring extra education, licensing, a probationary period, meeting test requirements, mediocre pay at best, benefits defined at the whim of politicians, and constant criticism and blame by talking heads, Tennessee want the teachers to be packing

Welcome to teaching in MAGA America

But teachers can still bring books to school, Phanty.

Of course we can...

 

[TOP]

And yet Florida outlawed it? DeSantis has spent a lot of effort on something you admit is not a problem.

It's not a problem...nipped it in the bud, so to say....

Schools used to have gun clubs. You brought your gun to school for gun club.

Oh, that’s a great idea, let’s have the students packing, wouldn’t be surprised if that hasn’t been bought up in some red state school board meeting

Fuck you bot hole

When was the last time Trump was in school?

I asked you...

Teachers who want to teach are going to teach regardless...so let us teach and worry about it...

Would you be OK with being tasked with being armed with a deadly weapon while you teach elementary school? I think it would be kind of a distraction.

We shouldn't have to let the teachers worry about adapting to being armed and willing to kill someone at a moment's notice. We should be able to let them teach.

Ah, no, quite the contrary:

“Teacher shortages continue to plague US: 86% of public schools struggle to hire educators,” (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...-2023-us-schools-struggle-hiring/71208579007/)

In fact, some States are beginning to cut teacher education requirements just to fill the classrooms, and who blames them, teaching in America sucks right now and probably isn’t going to get any better

Exactly...teachers who Want to teach will...So let them know you'll support them and let them teach...That's what's missing... Darn right there's a shortage...very sad...

Going to join in the hallucination, Phanty?

Projection, the only one hallucinating is you.

By making it illegal for teachers to bring books into schools. Florida is so afraid of books, they have made it illegal for teachers to bring them into schools. And then they say they want teachers to bring guns into schools?

So explain to me how books are more dangerous than guns?

I taught MS and HS...and never thought twice about it...but I would prefer not to have to be armed... (I definitely agree with letting us teach...)
However, if it was required, or suggested, to carry, I'd deal with it... and not be distracted...I'd prefer to let law enforcement handle it, of course...Kind of like at home...

You are not Trump, Sybil.

Florida did not outlaw teachers bring books to school, Sybil.

It's not illegal for teachers to bring books to school...why do you keep saying that? I gifted my students with books all the time...I still gift students with books...

Nothing requires them to carry a gun, Sybil.

Oh...and guns DID make America Great. They also made the United States possible.

Apparently you aren't aware that some students DO carry a gun, Sybil.

Gun Free Zones don't work.

So instead you would rather have no effective challenge to a mass shooter in the school. Gotit. You want innocent children murdered.
Carrying a gun does not prevent anyone from teaching, Sock.

You list yourself as a "retired teacher".

Anyway, it is illegal to allow students access to books that have not been approved Florida Department of Education. That means if you were a teacher in Florida, and were giving out books, you would be committing a crime.

Yet you think being 'educated' makes you an expert.

You are locked in another paradox, Sybil. You cannot argue both side of a paradox.
