Following the latest dreadful school shooting in the USA
President Trump proposed arming teachers.
These two letters published in The
Week on March 3rd suggest that might not be such a good idea.
To The Guardian
The maths teacher at my boarding school (circa 1959) lost
her temper two or three times per lesson.
She would fling chalk, or worse, the wooden board rubber at a pupil so
hard that her body would swing sideways – she was quite out of control. How would we have fared had she possessed an
assault rifle?

Give teachers guns?
Most of us struggle with staplers.
