Arming School Staff

[Unregistered]

I’ll tell you why it’s not a good idea to arm teachers. There have been too many cases of students assaulting teachers and in many of those attacks the teachers were completely and thoroughly physically man handled. Why is this an important point? Because it’s only going to take one incident where a kid disarms a teacher and takes their weapon. Then shoots the teacher and others and then what? The answer is to put a cop in every single school and continually train and update the personnel to ensure the right cops are in the schools.

And where are you going to get all these cops? They don't have enough now, that why they made the Guardian Program. Why don't you just make cops teachers, pilots, store keepers, and everything else?

You know it funny that it warned that when you don't back the cops it will empower the criminals. Here we are years after Ferguson and Baltimore and Society wants a cop to be everwhere.

The Special Detail list can't even be filled.

Society is getting the Policing it made!

The problem raises its ugly little head again!!! That kid you speak of, should not be in achool and should be taken and placed elsewhere!!!

School is for tje good kids that want to learn and tjeir environment must relect that. In the 70-80s I dont recall anyone in my school harming a teacher!


It is not the NORM, dont let them tell you it is!!!

Good points but if only if it were that simple. There are 2 subgroups of kids that are in question

1) The wanna be punk gangster element

2) The mentally ill (this includes high functioning autism)

Yes, absolutely, get the first group out of the school. They have the option of virtual school. If they cannot behave in school- out they go.

The mentally ill. Here's the tricky part. Kids with physical, mental, learning disabilities, or any "issue" are lumped into one group. They are prized "possessions" of the school because each and every one of them generates income. So, when a young child is diagnosed with something, the school latches on like a tick to keep that kid in their system no matter what. Parents who acknowledge that their kid does not belong in the public school are basically held hostage by the school who will manipulate in any way possible to keep a parents from going outside of the district by lowering the child's eligibility for benefits making the cost of private school impossible. The ESE staff are like DMV workers. They push paper and don't care. At one time there were contained classrooms for kids who needed close supervision. Those are now reserved for kids with Down Syndrome, very severe non verbal autism and physical disability. Like everything else, it's all about money. BCPS made a fortune on Cruz and didn't provide him the services that he needed such as containment and one on one supervision. Parkland took him back because he was a cash cow. These kids in mainstream classrooms, many who cannot navigate appropriate social interaction, are ostracized and bullied relentlessly often by the school staff and they can snap. You can say, "well too bad, they don't belong in the school," but what can you do with them? There is no "elsewhere" There are no institutions for a child unless they are actively suicidal or homicidal. After the 72 hrs of observation, there's nowhere to go. Cops shouldn't have to deal with these problems, and neither should teachers but until people stop screaming about gun control and start fixing mental health, mental illness is all around and a danger to all.

Question to cross certified DOD deputies:


If given the option, would you be interested in working in a school on a rotating basis?

Can we wear our windbreaker’s? If not then hell NO.
We are turn key’s and we all want to stay institutionalized.
So please stop with your stupid question Coward!
