18-22 thousand? No doubt very low. I agree wholeheartedly that the citizenry needs to increase the salary levels of teachers. Where is the money going to out there?

Excellent teachers need to get excellent pay. Bad teachers need to be shown the door. And unions need to be kept out or thrown out.

That said, the idea of teachers being armed troubles me. Teachers have enough on their plates without having to take on a kid with a weapon. I still say that trained and armed guards need to patrol the halls in troubled schools and in general administrators and teachers need to get to the front doors and welcome each and every kid into the school.

ALL others keep out!

I agree that all teachers have enough to worry about, but it is a bit of a pain to have to think about being attacked. Last year a school out here of 91 students (K-12) had a student get out of control and attack a sub. Amazingly the student had "connections" with the school board.(i.e. he was not expelled long ago) He was a problem long before he manifested it in a violent way.
My point being; it can happen anywhere. I have a ccw. Cannot I carry? If not, why not?
