Depends upon the teacher. Most of my elementary teachers, Miss Shirley, Miss Gaudet, Miss Percy, Mr. Convery, Mrs Falby were courageous, determined, and cool under pressure. Miss Coyne, not so much, but five out of six ain't bad. Middle school we had Miss Macglaflin, Mr Davis and Mr Sanacandro who all would qualify as courageous and competent. High school not so much. It was a a Quaker school, with most of the faculty firm believers in the Quaker doctrine of non-violence. Although I admired many of them, they were not the kind of people to draw a bead on a school shooter and let him have it right in center of mass.
But the public school teachers came from a tougher mold, at least back in those days. I wonder how teachers are now a days.
