Question

Should teachers be allowed to pack heat in class? ?

Answer 1

Absolutely not.  Period.  

Answer 2

Yes.

It would be a great way to get rid of mouthy, ignorant, teenagers once and for all.

Answer 3

Not unless teenagers are allowed to pack heat too.

Now that I answered your question, can you answer mine please?  Anyone? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

Answer 4

Yes, if they want to.

Answer 5

no, what's up with that??

Answer 6

no. (assuming that by "Packing Heat", you mean "have a gun", otherwise, I have no idea how they could pack heat :p)

Reasons?

1. Bad example for children.

2. Make our schools have an atmosphere of fear.

3. Not all teachers are "in their right mind", if you get me.

4. Chance for accident if kids find it (if they leave it on table, in drawer, kid takes out of pocket, falls out by mistake without teacher noticing)

Answer 7

Yes. In my city I wouldn't teach unless I was armed as well as my students were.

Answer 8

Not in public schools.  There are too many teachers who are too stupid and incompetent to have a gun around kids.

Answer 9

go read about the gang violence in Texas schools that allowed for that.It is my perspective that i would rather have a proficient gunman protecting my child then a drugged up p/o teenager shooting at random . It levels the playing field quite a bit.  

Answer 10

i have been to the high school lately, my lord the way these kids dress, and the way they talk now a days, i would love to send the little buggers to the office and paddle there butts let the pricipal carry the gun see what he can do with it.

Answer 11

yes, but they shouldnt tell the class where it is. that way, teachers have the security of havin more authority in the class while not tippin their hands to some messed up kid who thinks the world is out to get him

Answer 12

No...easier access for kids and then who's going to take responsibility for that.  And that would mean trusting every teachers judgment and no one is perfect...and we don't want someone's life to be the result of someone's bad judgement.

Answer 13

No but there should be security in schools that do have guns.
