Question of the Week:

Do we need active shooter training in the schools? Two teacher unions say that it can hurt more than it helps. A story out of Cincinnati quoted the head of the teachers’ federation as saying there is no evidence that drills make students safer. But Jason Seaman, the teacher in Noblesville who was shot three times and still tackled and disarmed the shooter was quoted as saying active shooter training saved his life. Everyone agrees that all anyone wants is what’s best for the children and staff, but what’s the best way to get there?

Find another answer other than simulations with shooters. If the kids are traumatized it won’t do any good anyway.

We have tornado drills and fire drills and manage to do those without traumatization. Kids can and should handle this.

We should spend our time and resources on other avenues of preparing and safeguarding against active shooters – not drills.

We are too soft as a society. Life is dangerous sometimes. The more we can teach students how to survive, the better.
