This is an interesting survey of US teachers by Pew. Clearly, teachers don’t think arming them is the solution to shootings in schools. Interestingly parents are less sure in another survey but still parents who want armed teachers are in a minority. From a risk analysis perspective, I think that the surveys are missing the point – they need to focus on risk mitigation to stop the shootings. Surely, potential remedies can be costed and risk assessed by experts? Thoughts?
