>> I find that notion in strong competition for the worst idea I have ever heard. It is a textbook bad example of organizational design, a screaming one, or it would be if textbook writers ever in their wildest imaginations thought that anyone would be dopey enough to consider it.

While it isn't for everyone, if I'm a teacher my first most important job is the safety of my classroom. If there is a man in the hallway with a gun, the worst conceivable situation is for me to be in the classroom, unarmed, trying to stand in front of twenty students to prevent their murder.

Organizational design? Ha. Every school can't have a private SWAT team.

Please don't try to apply normal bureaucratic solutions to this most nonlinear of situations, because we are only going to end up with mores dead students if we do that. This challenge requires thoughtful intervention.
