More Guns, War Zones, And Teacher Satisfaction

After reading The Guardian article here, this writer has concluded that more guns in public schools will only create more unnecessary war zones, resulting in more students/teachers needless deaths. I totally agree with the following comment from the above article:

Teachers are not soldiers – and I was a soldier in the US army for three years. The weapons in question need to be donated to the police department. Santa Fe ISD needs to keep guns out the classroom,” Rhonda Hart, the mother of one of the murdered students, Kimberly Vaughan, said in the meeting.

Keeping guns out of the classroom is conducive to learning in the classroom (isn't that what students are supposed to be doing in school?).

Folks, it's still not the guns (see here) that are the problem. The problem stems from a lack of parental teaching of children who are in their formative years (see here, here, here, and here). In addition to public education, there needs to be an abundance of "home" schooling (see here and here) as well.

Perhaps the thought of having to teach students in unnecessary war zones, plus low teacher salaries (see here, here, and here), are causing teachers to rethink the viability of remaining in education in order to have a feeling of satisfaction in what they are doing.

Beloved, regarding the salaries of teachers versus the salaries of sports figures (see here and here), as a nation, we might ought to rethink our priorities as to what's more important in the long term --- sports or a good well-rounded education?

And as far as the very best school?

Here is the criteria.
