Absolutely. Terrifying lesson in bayesian reasoning. For it to work, they'd have to be *willing* to use the guns. But, school shooters are a *relative* rarity. Fearful teachers lots of false positives. More dead kids. Now, at the hands of panicking teachers.

Not to mention, the whole solution would fuck with kids' heads. My high school had medal detectors, a police substation, and bathroom monitors (teachers who had to sit listening to you shit.) None of that made us feel safe. Not exactly a learning environment. Armed teachers?

I’m wondering if a dedicated social media committee for a district to monitor students’ public profiles would be a benefit? Unless of course that already exists.

Lot's of schools have good programs. (More probably don't for lack of funding.) The trouble is...what do you do then? There's no money for therapeutic interventions. And, the alternative in *most* cases is literal pre-crime.

Yep. Also, even ignoring that... ...wouldn't the guns have to be in lock boxes? ...and, wouldn't shooters just target teachers first before they could frantically fumble for the keys?

Yep. Pretty much the root of all 2018 counter arguments. Present something such that the probability is plausibly not zero, and wait for the cognitive operation that reduces it to p ∈ {1, 0}, depending on if they agree or not.

Yep. Which is why it works. There is an argument that, conditional upon an active shooter, it works, at least sometimes. You just have hand wave away the no shooter cases. Which is rhetorically easy to do, because people fear being a helpless victim more than a mistake.

Only logistical question I’d have is where the money for such an effort would come from? Would it be based on a risk assessment or maybe rotating shifts w/in districts? I doubt this could be applied to every school in the nation.

Inevitably: teacher's salary, benefits, or pensions.
