I know, it was more repeating myself because I keep hearing "if teachers had had guns that day..."
I don't know - but guns and drugs are a social problem and should be addressed differently than doing drug sweeps and gun searches on campus. Thats not going to help those who bring drugs or guns not use drugs or bring guns to school again. IMO the school is missing the bigger problem. Why are kids even bringing drugs and guns to school? Taking away the weed or the gun isn't going to prevent it.

The school can only do what they can with the time allotted. The cop also runs a couple after school clubs and there is an ongoing intervention program and a mediator program . the school tries , but it s a society problem. sadly human life is cheap .
it is a huge complicated issue. and the answer is not so easy as to say do this and all will be well.
we will have to take many many little steps that all tie in. guns / drugs / education / jobs / families . there are so many things that contribute.
