I'd personally would rather have a professional trained security personel to protect my kid in the advent of a school shooting.

Allowing teachers (those willing to receive the extra certification) to carry concealed while on the job isn't turning them into security guards anymore than I'm turned into a cop because I ordinarily go about with a concealed sidearm. An armed society was meant to be the norm, not the exclusive domain of special agents of state.
