School and Crime

I've always been interested in statistics, and this website provides stats about school related crimes. I find it interesting that people have the potential of getting seriously injured while they're at school. This blows my mind because I was from a TINY school (graduated with 40 people) and I always felt totally safe while at school. I can't imagine fearing the possibilities of getting beat up at school on top of having to learn. Pressures as a teen are hard enough, it's ridiculous that some teens have to fear their life on a day to day basis. I understand that schools are doing a lot to help this issue, but I feel as though there should be SOMETHING different they can do to ensure safety in the school settings. Not even that, but I wouldn't want to be a teacher in that setting. In one split second if you piss a kid off you could be shot. It's nuts!
