Students attacking teachers is an indicator of a problem administration who can't keep school order, because they've slowly lost their ability to keep order over time.  In that case, they need to clean house on that administration and start over.  It's always easier to ease up than tighten down.  So, to change a culture of no discipline you have to make wholesale changes to the administration and staff.  That's not a gun issue, it's a poor school discipline/management issue.

How would the armed teachers carry their weapon? They'd always have them on them, wouldn't they? If so, they'd be easily identified.

Gun locked in their desk? That has obvious problems.

Require every teacher to wear a jacket? What about women (yes, you know some will volunteer).

It's an issue.
