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.

The topic for my assigned essay was very intense. It involved a lot of research and knowledge of the subject. The writer who took care of it for me seemed to be a real expert. I found that so impressive! I just had to drop a line to let you know how much I appreciated the work he did. |

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! |

To the writers at EssaysEmpire.com: Next week, I will be graduating with a degree in clinical psychology. Over the course of my college years, I have had to turn to you for help many times. Each and every time, you produced some of the highest quality writing my professors had ever seen. Because of you, I was able to keep a high grade point average and get into an excellent grad school. There are simply no words adequate enough to fully express my appreciation, so I’ll simply say, “thank you” and let it go at that. Please know that you are appreciated. |

I had a question about the pricing. As I glanced through the EssaysEmpire.com website, I noticed that they were offering a lot for not all that much money. I spoke to a customer service person and she told me that the prices I saw on the website were accurate. Therefore, I ordered my first paper, not expecting all that much. What I got back was a brilliantly written essay that earned an A+ mark! Wow! I am impressed! |

I had to turn on my laptop for the express purpose of writing to you. I had to let you know what lifesavers you people are! I had never even considered hiring a professional writer to help me and was almost resigned to dropping out of school altogether. Then, I thought about it, and asked myself what it would hurt to try EssaysEmpire.com for just one paper. That paper was written astonishingly well! From that one paper, I learned many of the things that I did not know about writing. It was perfect, so I learned all about formatting in the APA style. I learned a lot, so I want to thank you for that. |

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 |
