Many people think that contracting the flu or chicken pox from students is the main risk of working in a school. That is definitely not the case. Over the past few years, there have been numerous violent occurrences in schools, many of which have had tragic results. In the last few years, there have been more fatal accidents in schools than ever before. Some target schools because they believe the security provided is insufficient. This frequently occurs as a result of schools' desire for families to feel at ease when visiting their children at any time. While this might be good for school spirit, it does put everyone there in a possibly unsafe scenario.
