No I'm not kidding you. I sincerely believe that a school should not have the same expectation of conflict as a battlefield.
Following your line of thought though, somebody is going to have to pay for their training and the policies to put it all in place, keep it up to date, etc. Do we want to have everybody foot the bill for it, or should we look at ways of keeping psychos from getting armed and pay for that instead?
I don't know. Arming/training teachers just feels like fixing a symptom. The problem of crazy people and irresponsible kids getting their hands on weapons is still very much there.
