1 in 5 US teachers feel carrying gun to class would make schools safer. More than half disagree, finds survey

  • More than half of the US's K-12 teachers believe that carrying firearms in school would make students less safe, while 20% of teachers said they would be interested in carrying a gun to school, according to a survey from the RAND Corporation. This suggests division on the issue of arming teachers in light of school shootings.
  • The survey indicates that bullying is the top safety concern for teachers and not school shootings. High school teachers were concerned about drug use and student fights, while middle school teachers ranked self-harm as the top concern, and elementary teachers were worried about violence against teachers.
