I don't know, here, guys. I'm not an expert, but...don't you think that maybe permitting teachers to get a concealed carry permit, and carry a gun might, maybe, be a little more effective than spraying a shooter with a fire extinguisher?

Yep. But it's so much easier for two parents who work full time to let their kids do this. Keeps the kids out of the parents' hair, and lets the parents do housework and cook dinner that neither were home to take care of.
