We don’t need to arm teachers for school safety

I totally agree with Jean Day’s Tuesday letter to the editor about seeking armed volunteers to help keep our schools safe. These trained veterans would be doing a great service to their communities by volunteering to patrol schools. Teachers have enough on their plates and should not be required to carry a firearm. That suggestion makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Let the teachers do their jobs. The volunteers will do theirs.
