First response would take seconds via the teachers vs half an hour for the police
you miss the fact that teachers don't fucking wanna be armed. they're teachers.
Yeah I don't think you can make blanket statements like that
Small sample size, but I know numerous teachers in Illinois, both Chicago and suburb, as well as Indiana. All of them to a T do not want to be armed under any circumstance while in school, even a very pro-2nd amendment Hoosier teacher, and if that was a job requirement several of them would simply not teach anymore.
So, yes, blanket statements are not good, but the fact is that saying that teachers have to be armed would a) drive more than a fair share of teachers out of the occupation and b) likely only attract new teachers that we wouldn't want to be teachers.
I don't think anyone here is saying to require them to be armed
