I see it online a lot. Israel arms teachers to keep kids safe, if the teachers at Newtown were armed those kids would have been saved if they would just fallow Israel. My answer to that is yes, and no. Yes I do believe in letting our teachers have ability to arm themselves to protect their students, but directly pointing out Israel is not the direct answer of proof. Let me explain.
Does Israel arm their teachers? Yes, and no. There was a time when it was required, but in recent years it's not. What people need to realize is that for a teacher to be allowed to have arms at a school they need to go through two years of military training. Also schools in Israel are gated. Not to mention that according to some research they more than often have armed guards then teachers. Even Israel has denied that all their teachers are packing heat. Its just an minority. Even Fox news posted a report saying it.
Despite that though Israel is in a constant amount of threat so they do have people protecting their children which I am in support of. Though Israel has gun control much on pare with much of Europe it seams I still think gun control is stupid. Really people just need to stop looking at all this stuff in black and white.
I do want to give my ideas of what I think should be done in this country as to arming teachers, but I mostly just wanted to point out the controversy that this country has about Israels armed teachers. They do have armed teachers, but not quite to the way we think, and armed guards are part of Israel schools, but lots of the information out there is black and white when we need to see the grey.
I am for armed teachers, but I think Ill give my ideas on that some other time. Though to be fair weather teachers are armed or not is having trained armed guards on schools a bad idea? Israel for sure does that.
