In this column, Ramsey explains why it is a bad idea to give teachers guns to prevent school shootings. "As a board of education, you know better than most how much is already asked of teachers and how far their energy and talents are stretched." This is a powerful line because it clearly lets the reader know that the teachers already have lots of responsibility on them and if this passes they also have to carry a gun! Ramsey has the sentence directed at the board of education that plans on making this regulation, as if the whole article was intended for the board of education.
Her writing style is one that is patient and takes a lot of time. This is because she takes a paragraph for every point, and always takes the long way around when making a sentence.
Do you think teachers will ultimately have to carry weapons?
What do you think should be done instead of giving teachers firearms?
Do you think there is a great chance that a school shooting could happen to us?
