It also helped curb bullying, fighting, smoking (lol), among many other things. Kids seem to behave better with a cop roaming the hallways, imagine that. All schools are different, and it should be left up to the locals to decide if it's necessary. But all you guys freaking out about armed guards in schools are oblivious to the fact that some schools across the country already have them. I can't agree with armed guards who are there just to stand there with a gun on them. This isn't North Korea or China. But if an officer is qualified to have some sort of other function, such as a teaching aide, or assistant, why the fuck not?
