>>>‘This is what happens if you just cower and do nothing,’” one of the teachers said.
What are our expectation for teachers if we arm them? If shots are heard in a hallway outside a classroom, are armed teachers expected to engage the shooter or should they stay with the class to help defend the students? If they stay with the students are they cowering?
I believe the schools that arm their staff consider it to be a defensive option.
Obviously, the situation will dictate the response, but I don’t believe the thoughts are for the armed teacher to abandon his class to seek out the shooter.
