#ArmMeWith — Teachers speak out about what they really need in school. (Not guns.)

Teachers around the country are reacting to President Trump’s call to arm some of them in classrooms — and even pay them a bonus — as a way to prevent future shootings, by speaking out about what they really want.

They are calling it the #ArmMeWith movement, and their reactions point to the lack of resources that many teachers say impinges upon their ability to educate children.

Here are some:

#ArmMeWith support, so that I can educate ALL of my students, no matter their level, and help them achieve their goals. Do NOT arm me with a gun. I need SUPPORT from society, our community, & our politicians to help every child achieve goals. Guns have no place in education. pic.twitter.com/tv0QtS8x9Y

I usually stay out of political topics but I feel very passionate about this. Don't arm me with weapons, arm my students with services that help them cope, services that when needed are there, relationships that keep them accountable #armmewith pic.twitter.com/bVER6g2kXM

As the 2005 National Teacher of the Year, as current @RPS_Schools Superintendent, and as a parent of two elementary-aged sons, let me be clear: arming teachers is an awful idea. The only answer: gun control.
