I see it as a step sideways - it avoids the answer virtually screaming to be heard: you stop a life threatening attack with equal or greater force. Arming teachers and/or staff is the only answer that meets the classroom criteria.
I agree. A very small sideways step. The idea is great but the reality is flawed.
It takes months of training to try to fight an armed attacker, years to be good at it and you'd still probably get shot.
What they're teaching is in essence, suicide with good intentions. Still better than just sitting there...
BTW a lot of rape prevention instructors used to teach students to gag themselves so they threw up on the attackers.
I knew a girl in high school who drank a lot who would throw up on you even if she was willing....worked real well:uhoh:
Anyway....it's a start I guess. I wonder when they'll try this program in Virginia?
