What price do you put on a child?

Having a cop who acts as a liason to several schools as well as handling other duties is wholly different than having a guard at each school from 8am till 5pm or later with coverage for vacation and sick days etc, this idea would cost a fortune, a fortune that would presumably come out of alreadt cash strapped school budget, would have almost no effect on the ability of a wack job to kill kids, it would just change how and where they do it. Instead of in the school they will just hijack a school bus (Dirty Harry anyone).
The idea has more holes than my grandfathers vest and is only being floated in a pathetic attempt to deflect from a workable plan that most other countries have adopted, keep guns out of the hands of most of the population that don't really need a gun.
