During stranger danger drills, I had to have my kindergarten students in a classroom with no windows and only one exit. We were made to sit in a dark room, in the corner, and be silent. I would have a tap light and try to keep these poor babies as calm as possible, the entire time I was thinking about...”what if someone were to be in this school with a gun...how could I protect my students...even if I laid in front of them and he shot me, he would then have an open shot for them”. All of this stress. We were sitting ducks. Would I want to carry a gun? No. How about metal detectors at the only entrance to the school?

Personally, I do not believe that metal detectors will stop someone if they really want to hurt kids in the school. I don't think that metal detectors will stop them. If you don't mind, could you elaborate on why you wouldn't carry a gun even if it meant you would have better chances to protect your students?

Interesting point.
Do the other teachers that you work with feel the same or would most of them prefer to carry agun?
