Should Teachers Carry Weapons
← The Decision to Drop the Atomic Bomb on Japan | Fast Food Restaurants → |
In the modern-day society, school shootings occur frequently enough such that they have become major news. This situation has led to an unending debate among major stakeholders on whether or not school officials, such as teachers, should be allowed to carry weapons like guns in class. Recently, a high school in Palmetto was under immense tension when rumors were doing the round that there was going to be a shooting. This example, and many others, renews the concern about the violent nature of young people and the question of whether teachers should be the ones to provide protection in schools.
Even though there is an increasing trend of school shootings each day, and many students continue to carry guns to schools, the idea of teachers carrying weapons to schools should not be perpetuated. On the other hand, guns should not be totally inaccessible to teachers. They may be provided in schools, but their accessibility should be restricted only to certain limits. As such, it is important to seek to find a compromise between the two extreme situations.
It is imperative to note that the school ought to be the safest place for a child to stay apart from home, yet there are insecurity problems in schools. To bring back safety in schools so that students can learn smoothly, all options must be tabled and debated. There are many arguments for and against the idea of allowing teachers to carry weapons in class. These are aimed at the rights of the individuals who need protection versus creating an environment where increased violence might occur if more guns are allowed.
One of the arguments in favor of allowing teachers to carry guns is the idea that teachers are in a better position to defend students from armed intruders, since they (teachers), are the ones responsible for their students welfare while in school. Other people argue that allowing teachers to carry weapons is necessary so as to give them an even playing ground with some of their students who also carry guns. As such, their argument is that teachers should be allowed to carry guns for self-defense since the liberal society has allowed people, including students to carry guns.
On the other hand, one of the arguments held by the opponents of the idea of teachers carrying guns lies in the fact that guns and other weapons may add emotional stress to students. For instance, a teacher may threaten a misbehaving student using a gun, thus making such a student to loose his/her attention in class due to the fear of being shot. Teachers are also not properly trained to use guns in the same way as the police, and therefore they might end up misfiring shots even in times of danger, thus causing unnecessary deaths. In addition, schools which grant teachers the right to possess weapons may have their education system viewed negatively by outsiders. Doing so might reflect that the education system which is adopted by that particular school encourages violence, yet schools are expected to educate students about moral values and problem-solving techniques which shun away from the use of violence. Furthermore, allowing teachers to carry weapons would also change the intended conducive learning atmosphere to a highly tensed one.
In conclusion, it is important to note that the debate on whether teachers should be armed or not is met with so much controversy. Even though teachers should not be allowed to carry guns to class, due to the ever-increasing cases of school shootings everyday, guns should not be made totally inaccessible to teachers. Guns may be provided in each classroom, but they should be kept under tight vigilance so that that they can only be used in times of serious emergencies. For instance, they can be used with PIN numbers which are only permitted by school principals. This will make it impossible for teachers who may be mentally incapacitated to use them freely for their own mischievous reasons such as for threatening students. On the other hand, teachers should be licensed to use these guns, and they must receive proper training in crisis management and hostile situations.

You’ve done it again! Every time I order a paper from EssaysEmpire.com, you top the last one. This latest one was the best yet. I truly do appreciate the fact that you offer such high quality writing. It never fails. With some of the other writing services online, you ever really know what you are going to get. Sometimes, they just sell you a paper that someone else has already bought. I never have to worry about things like that happening when I use EssaysEmpire.com. |

I was trying to choose between EssaysEmpire.com and another online writing service and I didn’t know which one to pick. Then, I began to read reviews. I didn’t read even one thing negative about EssaysEmpire.com, and the other site was fraught with complaints. I went with EssaysEmpire.com, and it turned out that all the good things I had read about the service were true. My paper was fully guaranteed, but it was A-1 quality. The customer service people were great. The prices were right. Now, I am a devoted fan. When I need help with my writing, I go straight to EssaysEmpire.com! |

Today was the perfect day to make an A+! It convinced me that there are solutions to problems that seem impossible to solve. When I realized that the due date for my paper was coming up quickly, I felt like there was nothing I could do. If I didn’t hand in my paper on time, I would get an F and fail the course. However, I had to study for 3 major exams and write two other papers. My roommate suggested that I turn the paper over to you guys, which I did, and voila! I got an A+ on it and the problem was solved. Thank you, EssaysEmpire.com and to your writers and staff. You are a great writing service. |

My writer revealed to me that when he isn’t working for you, he is teaching at a major university. He also told me that a lot of the other writers who work for you are professors. That is impressive! No wonder I got an A+ on my paper! |

One of the things that I appreciate most about EssaysEmpire.com, is that they don’t resell your paper. Only you own it, if you hire them to write something. Other writing services that I have used, just circulate the same paper over and over, and if you get caught turning one in, too bad. You are expelled. EssaysEmpire.com will even give you a plagiarism report after they run it through their anti-plagiarism check. Such details set EssaysEmpire.com above the rest. |

I am completely satisfied with the paper I purchased from your company. I only wish I had known about you last year when I took an F grade for not being able to complete a paper on time. The work you did was marvelous. Whenever I find myself falling behind in my school work, I will be sure to pass along some of my more difficult written assignments to you |

There are four things that I look for in a good writing service. #1. They have to be fast. A good writing service won’t miss an important deadline. #2. A good writing service will let customers actually talk to the writer who is working on their customer’s papers, so the customer can work out important details. #3. A good writing service will have a user-friendly website that is easy for the customer to use and #4, a good writing service will offer quality guarantees. EssaysEmpire.com meets all of this criteria and more. EssaysEmpire.com is the best writing service and has the reputation to prove it. I wouldn’t even consider using another writing service since experiencing the excellence that is EssaysEmpire.com! |

I appreciate the help your wring service gave me with my biology paper. I have never cared much for biology. It is a tough subject for me to grasp. This is why I needed so much help with my paper. The writer absolutely understood the whole topic and turned out work that would have made anyone proud. Thanks a million for the great paper. |
