I forget.

That's hilarious because this girl I know who graduated last May and now teaches at a middle school in Tucson near the university still parties like crazy on Thursday nights with those of us who haven't graduated and regularly drinks everyone else under the table. I have no idea how the she gets up the next day and makes it to school on time, and people suggest arming people like her with a gun.
It's sad, but the behavior of Cameron Diaz in Bad Teacher really isn't far off from how some public school teachers act.
This. The very notion of arming teachers just resonates weird with me.
Breaking News: Ditzy people work everywhere. This is not really news.
And I wouldn't wanna arm any of those people with guns as a method of security at work.
Gots no probs with that. Unfortunately, we already arm a -load of ditzies already.
maybe we need to pay for armed security at each campus... of course that would cost money and some in this country are allergic to any spending increases on public schools...
Tea Party Nation: Train Teachers in SWAT Teams to Fight Hamas
In his initial response to the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, Tea Party Nation president Judson Phillips emailed members an article about the massacre which sharply criticized teachers and urged government to cripple teachers’ unions and place guards like George Zimmerman at every school. Today, Phillips emailed out a piece arguing that it should “be required that all teachers and other staff be armed and in trained in SWAT” because Americans should worry about “the bloodbath you may well see if Iranian and Hamas agents go en masse into the schools of this nation.”
The TPN article also attacked teachers as “abject pacifist cowards” and liberals for allegedly “dancing gleefully in the blood of victims” in order to help the government “enslave” Americans through forcible disarmament.

you tea baggers here got some REAL DITZY leaders, doncha?
do you tea baggers really expect to get non-ditzy teachers in your for-profit charter schools by paying them even less than public schools?
lol..rightwingwatch calling out TPN.
Irony, mother er! Do you speak it?
"do you tea baggers really expect to get non-ditzy teachers in your for-profit charter schools by paying them even less than public schools?" and to whom are you addressing this pile of straw to?
for starters, reduce the bloated salary of the top administrators
Maybe me since he decided to correct my spelling mistake (ditzy isn't really a word I put in writing very much), and he throws a fit whenever someone speaks negatively about public sector workers.
Who would you want armed? Would you want to outlaw guns for everyone? Even in their home?
define bloated.. what is the most money a person can earn as a Top Administrator (whatever that is)?
Dude, you already know this. Ask yer wife....I'll bet she's got some HSO's about admin pay.
I would wanna arm actual security personnel if additional security was required. There are other things too that would increase security, like limiting the amount of places you can enter/exit during school hours. At my high school the gates were locked during school hours and there was only one way in/out, which was monitored by a security guard. In this day and age, I don't think schools can have open campus policies anymore.
I'm not sure where I said anything about outlawing guns for people though. Pretty sure I was talking about workplace/school security. Nothing in my post was about general gun control laws.
I don't know what the answer is in terms of a definite #. I'll admit I haven't done any deep research into the matter but an administrator's salary that's 10x more than a teacher seems bloated.
Have we asked any teachers if they'd like to carry/have access to a gun?
Or will we force teachers to carry them?
Yeah every school I've been to with kids or from when I was in school had it to where you couldn't open doors from the outside. When I went to Madison with gangs and drug problem they had, they always had someone watching the parking lot to see people coming in. In this instance I would assume that the son went to his mother's school before so knew the weaknesses of their security.
Bingo. And WRT armed security, GGA hit the nail on the head. Gov good hair just cut $4B from the education budget.
Same with my high school, we had a guy monitoring the parking lot and other than being really hispanic we weren't by any stretch of the imagination a gang school. Of course now that I'm remembering, that guy was a few lost brain cells away from being a vegetable and wouldn't really be able to do much to prevent a nutcase with a gun from entering the parking lot.
We're not going to arm all the teachers because it's stupid and we're not going to try and turn every school into a fortress because it's too expensive. So, the things we can do are going to be pretty simple and small scale. Put a cop on every campus. Give exterior classrooms special emergency exit windows that can be easily removed from the inside giving everyone in that room an escape route. Door locks for every classroom. Maybe even turn some interior classrooms or bathrooms into safe rooms with bulletproof doors. Have an emergency plan to get everyone out of the building entirely or into a safe room and practice that plan. Stuff like that. Realistically all you can do is make it a little harder for someone on the outside to get in, make it a little easier for someone on the inside to get out and see what kind of obstacles you could put in a shooter's way to slow him down, minimizing the damage he can do before the police get there en-mass.
Starting teacher in our district (any grade) = $58,000; Average Salary = $81,000
Not peanuts. Still plenty of ditzes.
