Taking down the shooter ASAP seems to work the best.
When you consider - a reasonably practiced person with a clip loaded REVOLVER ( see S+W 625) can take down 15 targets a minute - an expert in 10 seconds or less ( see Jerry Miculek) -
How long are you willing to wait for cops to show up and DO something??
Having someone on scene - with ready access to a firearm - seems sensible.
Idea - every teacher comes equipped with a " smart gun".... Gun control proponents seem intent on foisting them on every gun owner. Let' s see how much they REALLY trust that technology.
And what is the shooter doing during the 10-15 seconds the teacher is getting his smart gun out of the desk drawer? Shooting the teacher.
Arming teachers seems like a self-defeating proposition. Once teachers are armed, it’s going to be known that teachers are armed. The shooter’s mindset is to kill as many people as possible, while the teacher’s mindset is to teach kids the capital of Bolivia. The shooter is prepped, amped, and ready to kill. The teacher isn’t. Shooter’s solution: kill the teacher first.

Oh - and seeing you are unfamiliar with US schools - they rarely come with only one teacher.
It almost sounds like you are willing to let these monsters shoot kids - just so you can throw up your hands and call it a hopeless situation....
