They want to arm teachers. I would rather pay teachers But they replied they would pay teachers to carry arms. But I sneered that they would ignore teachers who come with open arms To receive pay. You cannot convince me that a teacher should only be paid more If they take up arms. And if teachers are to play police To police our children Does that mean the role of children in the classroom changes too? Would teachers be more instructors or security guards? I don't know how anyone would be able to do both equally well. It would be like someone being both judge and baliff.
The sad part is if they ask for a pay raise for any other reason Such as I need to keep up a standard of living They say we can’t afford it. But we can’t afford to skimp on education. They risk their lives every day To do what is most essential for our society Teach our kids. We have people who can protect them. The teacher's role is uniquely bestowed. But you add guns to the equation It makes it more of a battle. And not one thats adds up. The violence might multiply Because more guns cross the divide between teacher and student. It is said that the teacher’s unions are the problem. If there was no teacher union there would not be advocates at all. Because if these people complaining did not talk out of both sides of their mouth They really would not be able to talk at all.
