You'd rather have three half-trained people with BIGGER priorities than security (like teaching) than one fully-trained officer who has no other priorities except for keeping the school safe, and you're citing MONEY as the reason?
Because 5K is a good amount of money to keep bullets out of your child's brain, but 35K is too much... (I mean, you could always just have another kid, right?)
Or maybe the problem is that 35K is too much to spend on a HYPOTHETICAL problem... I mean, you might want to invest in earthquake-proof buildings, lightening rods on swing sets, and a laser system that can shoot down asteroids - JUST IN CASE...
Or more realistically - where are the safeguards against teachers raping students? (because that happens a hell of a lot more than shootings, but nobody seems to be too concerned about persistent problems when we have so many rarities to worry about...)
