The armed teacher protocol would introduce firearms into classrooms yes but they would be secured in the teachers person at all times. The teachers would have to undergo training to properly handle weapon systems though. With this training they would be able to respond to emergency situations much easier than throwing books and staplers at someone carrying a firearm.

i agree with this statement because if a school shooter were to break in a wooden door ain't gonna stop them they know were in class so i think teachers should be able too.

Correct, a wooden door won't stop an intruder, the solution might not necessarily lie in arming teachers. This could potentially lead to accidents or misuse, especially in high-stress situations. A study by the FBI found that even highly trained police officers hit their intended targets less than 20% of the time in a firefight. Teachers, whose primary focus is education and not law enforcement, might have even lower accuracy rates.
Also, there's the potential psychological impact on students knowing their teachers are armed. Instead, perhaps we could focus on preventive measures like improved security infrastructure, mental health support, and emergency protocol training for staff and students.
