EVERY single person entering the school.The impracticality of that is of course mind boggling.Airplanes are enclosed spaces whereas schools are spread out;arming teachers would still require the teacher to travel anywhere from 15 to 20 seconds to 3 or 4 minutes and that's if you know exactly where the shooter was.It would reduce casualties but not eliminate them.And as the Fort Lauderdale airport shooting of a couple of years ago showed, people would still be vulnerable when they exit the building.

thats your opinion. I only stated that they have air marshals on planes as regualr passengers and no one knows who they are however I dont know the stats on how many hijackings there were or plane crashes from terrorist taking over planes before the marhsalls vs after the marshalls, I do know that it has worked , however this is about school shooting not comercial flight safety.
so your not sugesting screening of all teachers and students?
