[QUOTE="CoachR64, post: 2099019, member: 2150"] How many police incidents go just the way they ought? Training and the real deal are not the same. No amount of training will prevent something from possibly going wrong. Mr Murphy is always around. This is not a true step In the rignt direction. It is another measure to create an illusion of safety. Again, most large district will not allow it in any way, shape or form, and many teachers at schools that do will be prevented from doing so for a variety of reasons. My school district spent 10s of thousands putting in "lobby guard" where visitors have to scan a drivers licesne when checking in. Looks great to see an article In the paper that talks about all this cool stuff we are doing to protect kids. What you don't see is that there are multiple entrances to the schools open and unguarded daily. To even use the system, you have to purposefully seek out the office and use it. It doesn't protect kids. Just an illusion of safety that looks good to outsiders. I see no point in putting in measures that are not realistic, as they will ultimately be ineffective. If we are going to do something, than we need to do something meaningful. Other wise, it is nothing but more smoke and mirrors. As far as coaches go, they are the ones traveling and often at schools in late hours and weekends when there is no officer around. They are the ones most likely to need to protect students. I was going into criminal justice before I chose the teaching path. I thought I wanted to be in law enforcement. I felt called to my professon and I love what I do. I would not do it differently. I teach an extra class, coach 2 sports, am working on my masters, and will be watching my son this summer. I've been shot in a gun free zone and no the dangers of them. I've never committed a crime. I fail to see how becoming a police officer makes me any better able or willing to lay down my life and protect my students. [/QUOTE]
