Krista Ramsey Column
This column by Krista Ramsey summarizes why teachers should not be armed. Will teachers be able to do anything if they had a weapon?
One of the lines I think Krista Ramsey had best written was, "Any teacher, principal or staff member who is armed will carry an enormous level of legal and moral responsibility, not just in the unlikely event of a school attack but in the everyday, unpredictable life of a school." The impact this has on readers is that if teachers were armed, can they be trusted? Nobody knows if it will be the teacher that does the shooting.
I'd say Ramsey's writing style would be elegant. A line from the first column to support this would be, "The kid who used to walk home from school looking at houses and trees now rides home staring at a screen not much bigger than his hand. The teenager who used to research at the library or hang out with friends outdoors now does her studying and socializing in front of a computer in her bedroom."
Three questions I would ask Krista Ramsey would be have you experienced any of your columns in person? Where did you go to school at? And what made you write about what you write?
