There is no reason:
- Contrary to popular thought teachers, being reasonable people, will not draw down on a problem maker and shoot him dead. Normal people will give some warning and be shot themselves
- Having teachers with guns will elevate every school incident to a shoot or be shot event so the intruder will always come armed
- SWAT teams are likely to shoot anyone with a gun first and find out of it was a teacher second
- Teachers would have to have gun training and maintenance skills so they don't become a danger to themselves
- Guns , ammo and training are an expense that school boards would have to cover. With 6.2 million teachers in the US at $1000 to arm and train them this is close to 10 billion dollars.
- Collateral damage would see more students shot then bad guys. Depending on the rounds used a missed shot could be deadly after several walls were penetrated
- Teachers flip out too (see videos of teachers hitting kids for examples) these same teachers would potentially shoot troublesome students. But then if the students were armed as well it could become really interesting.

Should teachers use guns in school?
Unless they're teaching a course in firearms, no. I would add that, if the environment is so deadly as to require teachers to carry firearms, learning is already deeply impaired. Correct the environment instead.

Are teachers with guns in an elementary school good?
No, teachers in an elementary school with guns are not good. The are not supposed to carry guns in most schools. The security guard or police officer may have a gun in school, but not school teachers! In addition, dividing people up into good guys or bad guys is an erroneous classification. In a recent study of schoolteachers with guns, 30 teachers discharged their weapons, most of which were intentional and illicit. (Please see the related link below for more information.)
