But I do know that they need to have more on campus then ever before. I think that the state needs to make sure that we are safe at schools. I do not think that it should be left in the hands of our kids or teachers to carry. Our teachers have a job to do and thats to teach and to make sure that our kids feel that they can talk to them and help them with there homework amongst other duties they have. But in no way shape or form should teachers carry. Its not there job. Its the Police officers. The Federal commissioners , The President needs to issue out more funds to keep schools safe. Its not our teachers responsibility. Let them solely focus on our childrens education and let the Police do the protecting. Just like they do on premises with the white house – they have guards everywhere. Why cant the schools get what they need.
