Do the students know who the teacher is? I'm just thinking, if it's an 'inside job' surely the gunman would know who to take out first?

It's an active discussion among those looking for better solutions.  One of the more inspired ideas is having that information anonymous or unknown to the student body for such security reasons.

That's also a good reason for the policy/law to be local (state level) and not dictated by the federal government.

Just as private industry innovates, so do local authorities.  They know best how to adapt and serve their local constituents.

Better ideas boil to the top.  Those ideas, in turn, are shared among states.  Bottom up, and not top down.  That drives progress through best practice analysis.
