Essay on Should Teachers Carry a Gun to School?

Teachers should not be allowed to carry a concealed weapon in school even if it is registered and the teacher has had training with firearms. However, with a recent jump in school shootings many officials are debating implementing armed teachers. If educators carry firearms, schools will no longer be a safe trusted place to learn, firearms and their liabilities would be a great cost to the school, and it would be easy access for someone, namely the students, to steal the weapons.

Dear Mr. President, to end mass shootings in America we must provide the country with more guns. Why not give our teacher’s guns too. Whenever she tells a student to stop using his/her phone for the 4th time who knows maybe she’ll pull the gun out, and the student will finally put his/her phone away. The following article, “Arming Educators Violates the Spirit of the Second Amendment,” states, “While most teachers are fiercely dedicated to their students, steady reports of abuse from some teachers, as well as reports of racial slurs and racial bias, should be strong reasons to be skeptical of arming teachers” (Newkirk, 2018). Mr. President this article shows that some teachers may even have different bias towards students and even signs of

Guns have been accepted in society for many years now, even before the second amendment provided U.S. citizens the right to bear arms. Conflicts can arise with having the ability to carry around a gun. Guns should not be encouraged tools in a college setting. If students try and bring guns on campus it could cause fatal incidents to happen. If someone has a disagreement they could possibly shoot someone. Educational campuses should be safe and gun free especially when it comes to the youth. Also there is no need to have a gun on hand if there are law enforcements on campus.

My Rhetorical Analysis is on a issue that was covered in the local newspaper in the Fayetteville News&Observer (Across the country, school districts are quietly arming teachers for the next shooting). Now me myself am not a teacher but just looking at the news of school shootings it is a cause for concerns, people our to be more specific our children. This should cause us to want to seek solutions to this seemingly worsening problem. My children are grown but I have 21 grandchildren that are or will be entering the education system, I can’t say that I am comfortable with a teacher with a gun unless they have the proper training and back ground checks necessary by local state and federal law enforcement. Teacher have a differcult enough job

Of all the places in the world, you would think that a school is the safest place for a child to be. Sometimes this isn’t the case. In this speech, I will talk to you about how allowing teachers to carry concealed weapons will be a good idea. I will talk about the advantages of allowing teachers to carry a concealed weapon, how allowing teachers to carry concealed weapons is helping other countries, and why Gun-Free zones aren’t working. Let’s start with the advantages of allowing teachers to carry a concealed weapon.

During the past few years, the number of school shootings has increased markedly. In 2013, there were 19 school shootings that occurred, taking so many innocent lives. Some may remember the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting on December 14th, 2013. It was the second deadliest massacre shooting in United States history, behind the 2007 Virginia Tech Massacre. Adam Lanza shot twenty children, six staff, his mother, and himself that day. School shootings are tragic. Violence continues to increase with these shootings, as well as with violence within the schools among the students. The big question is, how do we protect ourselves from these horrible occurrences? How do teachers protect the innocent lives of their students? One common suggestion is for the teachers and administration to be armed. The premise is that if the school staff has possession of firearms this would discourage shooters, thereby making the schools much safer. However, it is my belief that teachers should not be able to have access to weapons. There should never be any type firearm on a school property, excluding trained security personnel, such as police officers and security guards.

There are two main opinions on equipping teachers with firearms. The problem is not with the polarization of these views, but the lack of willingness to compromise. Polarization of two ideas creates an inability to solve the problem. The National Rifle Association’s National School Shield is an uncompromising policy requiring a teacher to carry or possess a firearm (Pérez, 2017). The other side though is

he first main idea, that has been argued much more then needed, is that teachers will be trained to not shoot kids that are acting up. The teachers would be attending a gun safety class. Many (as in people against this argument) say that the teachers wouldn’t attend this class, but a recent survey, conducted by the NRA, shows us that 40 million teachers would like to be armed and would take the Gun Safety Test. The course, that which is mandatory, would likely e sponsored by the NRA. The course that the teachers would be attending, is a 40-60 hours a week course (in the summer time), and the course doesn’t stop until the teacher can pass the exam. The exam is simply being able to hold a gun, reaction time, and being able to know when and when not to shoot. Just recently, 04/10/2017, a school shooting killed two teachers, and injured two students, both kids being injured severely. If those teachers in San Bernardio where armed, they could have saved their lives and those children’s futures. Also in 2013 teacher aids, the principal, the school psychologist, teachers, and 20 children ranging from 6-7 were killed in Sandy Hook, making a death total of 26 people, plus one. That plus one should not be accounted for, that plus one was the

There are people who believe that teachers should have guns inside the classroom because it can be safer for the students in a shooter situation., but should teachers really have guns in the classroom, and could it more dangerous for the children? That is the questions that people are asking ,and are trying to find the answer to,and that is why this reach paper was made. To show the daugous of having guns inside of school. Even with people who may think it would be safe for students. That if the teacher was to be armed and trained on using guns, also if a time did comes when someone was to come in the school with a gun in hand.

My recently divorced History professor seemed to be in an extremely foul mood one dreary Monday morning. Every move and comment the class made seemed to irritate him more and more. Everyone in the room stopped moving and talking in concern for him, everyone except Josh, who is our class clown. He made the decision to make a comment to our teacher that any other day would have broken the ice and class would have resumed. For some reason, on this particular day it was the straw that broke the camel’s back. My professor looked up from the floor and in a matter of seconds had removed a gun provided to him by the school for protection, from under his jacket, and then shot Josh before anyone could do anything to stop him.

Since 2010 there have been thirty-one school shootings in the United States alone (Black). In this past year, the year of 2013, there have already been 8 school shootings in the USA (Black). Eight school shootings in one month. That number is outrageous and not healthy for our students to have the best learning experience. No student deserves to go to school fearing that they may fall victim to violence at their school. I believe that our schools can be made safer by a law being written that teachers should be allowed to carry concealed firearms in school. It is best for teachers to carry firearms to school because it will provide safety to

One reason why we should have give guns to teachers is because if some shooter comes into a school then we can have some defence against the shooter. One of the examples is why we should give teachers guns is if there is a school that doesn't have a police department for miles then they could defend them self. Another example why they should give guns to teachers is that ABC realized a poll and 42% do think that teachers should have guns with them. So there are some exaples on why we should give guns to teachers. One reason why they shouldn't give teachers guns is that some teachers don't think that they

Is arming teachers the last way to stop violence? The number of school shootings is increasing rapidly in the United States. One of the ways people are thinking to solve this problem, is to arm teachers. Almost all of us understand that arming teachers will stop these school shooting from ever happening again. In this essay I will strongly argue that teachers should have guns, because a shooter can be disarmed, it may prevent the trigger from ever getting pulled, and any teacher to become, will have to prove that they are mentally stable to carry guns.

School shootings have altered American history greatly over the past two decades. From 1997 to 2007, there have been more than 40 school shootings, resulting in over 70 deaths and many more injuries. School shoot-outs have been increasing in number dramatically in the past 20 years. There are no boundaries as to how old the child would be, or how many people they may kill or injure. At Mount Morris Township, Michigan, on February 29th, 2000, there was a 6 year old boy who shot and killed another 6 year old girl at the Buell Elementary School with a .32 caliber pistol. And although many shootings have occurred at High Schools or Middle Schools, having more guns on those campuses would not be a good environment for children to grow up in.

Women tend to be more emotional and rational then men, whereas men are far less emotional and react on impulse. The different understanding of the ways that each sex communicates is still to be studied. Women tend to react more emotionally than men, resulting in submerging themselves, mind body and soul into making decisions. Meanwhile men, impulsively react to situations for the sake of having a reason to do so. Men see women as less competent to making decisions that involve a lot of thought, and this is due to women’s
