    Should schools arm teachers against school shooters? One Pennsylvania district says it has a solution: a bucket of rocks.https://usat.ly/2IPBhKf

        dumbest idea I have heard on bringing safety to the classroom yet. Trust a bunch of kids with a bucket of rocks? Seriously? Talk about bringing back stoning people to death. What if they don't like their teacher on any particular day?

        Active shooter training teaches you to RUN,HIDE,FIGHT, just hope they understand that you only throw rocks in school not afterschool

        Why not get an armed guard, security cameras & a simple plan; it's that simple.

        What are we asking of our children. Why would we want them exposed to any of this. Do you think a child who comes home from stoning someone isn't going to be traumatized? Protect them! We keep guns off of airplanes, can we really not keep them out of schools?

        Which might work if the shooter is using a musket?!

        That’ll just piss the shooter off even more. Now you’re shot 10 times instead of 1 🤔🤨🧐

        Asking a child to stand up to a shooter and fight back. It's too much, please.

        If you take rocks away from honest citizens only criminals will have rocks.

        Long range pepper spray or an AR in lock box makes more sense. Rocks are better than nothing and helps start a serious discussion 👍

        Pepper spray or rubber bullets would be a better solution.
