If teachers were armed, it could make students feel unsafe and uneasy during educational time, which is something that no one wants to experience. School should be a safe place that you can look forward to every day, not somewhere that you dread to go because the people who are teaching you are also carrying a weapon. Knowing your teachers have guns in the classroom could also be very distracting for students, and this could lower educational performance. The point of school is to benefit from a good education, and this goal could be damaged by armed teachers. Also, since teachers would then have access to a weapon, something could always go wrong and there is a greater chance that someone could get hurt in the classroom. People should feel safe at school, and someone's educational performance should not decline because they are afraid to go to class. Instead, the security people can be armed since they are not usually in classrooms during the day, and more safety measures can be implemented. This way, the building is still safe and the learning environment is not tampered with.
