Any handgun would be a poor defense against someone armed with an AR15.

I’m sure there are some teachers out there who choose to discreetly carry in public schools and I support that, but the idea of “arming teachers” like some sort of government mandate, is absurd and is not a step forward.
A pistol against an AR is 100% better than not having an option. Maybe it's not ideal, but it's way better than ... a chair, book, soup can (yes, that is an actual district's advice) ... I do agree with you that it shouldn't be mandated. However, it should also not be restricted. CLEARLY "gun free" zones consistently fail.
