One of the trends in education has always been expecting teachers to do more with less. As time goes on, teachers are expected to join more committees, teach more and higher standards, and be trained in more and more areas outside the core duty of teaching kids. Now comes a proposal by the state of Nevada wherein teachers would carry concealed weapons and become “reserve school police officers”. While I’m sure the lawmakers see this as an attempt to solve the security problem on campus, what it really does is draw teachers further and further away from their core duty of educating kids. A favorite quote:
“Teachers get into education to teach, not to be cops,” Trump said. “Teachers are already overwhelmed with all of the academic, behavioral and administrative tasks they have to perform. To say you’re going to add a whole other role and mind-set is unrealistic.”
