I used to carry a pistol on me for years before I left SA. It's no big deal frankly assuming you are responsible about it. The problem would be in finding the responsible people, and agreeing on weapon type and carrying method.
But then of course I'm sure there would still be such an outcry from much of the public that it could never happen anyway.

Not quite ludicrous.
It might take one minute to get to the lockbox and retrieve the weapon. That's sufficient time to save some folks.
Is it preferential to keeping a weapon on a person? Of course not. But, it might be a decent alternative for those who would revolt if they found out their teacher had a weapon on them while their kids were in class.
You cannot compare yourself to the average teacher or parent, sorry.
