As a history teacher, I was thinking a Gatling gun would be most appropriate. Well, actually we don't do industrialization and replaceable parts until the Spring semester. Perhaps for the Fall Semester an ancient Korea Hwa-cha would be best. It's basically a wooden mount for a multiple field rocket attack, emphasizing both the Song Dynasty's economic and technologic dominance of the Far East and the importance of cultural diffusion in world history.
I may go back to teaching English next year. A pair of pearl handled duelling pistols would be more my style. It's very Heathcliff.

(22,145 posts)I think we should get rid of school buildings and hold classes in a tank. It offers protection and fire power . Small class sizes too.

Brilliant!

(30,481 posts)It serves so many purposes. Protection, fire power, small class sizes, removes them from the battlefield. Field trips would be a blast. Never have to leave the classroom for transportation. I never thought that classes, inside of a military tool of destruction, could be such a good idea. Talk about multi-functional.

In fact, you can rig the system to fire when the door is opened! Hands-free protection! Perfect for late students and those unannounced principal visits.

The WTF look would be priceless.
