Is school one of the most dangerous places for youth - Canada

 

Many teachers have reported their teaching experiences like walking on egg shells. Many students commit violent acts on school grounds. It can become a handful especially when teacher are just trying to do their jobs. 

These teachers have to deal with things such as hitting, kicking, spitting, and throwing tantrums every day if they have bad students. It can make life as a teacher really hard. For the classmates it can actually become quite dangerous to even go to school. Especially if bullies are thrown into the mix. They can actually be putting themselves at risk of being injured. 

This only goes for certain students that are an easy target for bullies. This is not at all a universal thing that everyone experiences. Some schools don't have any bullies at all so it really depends on which school and the types of people around you.

When crime statistics increase in usually means it's more the reports going up as opposed to actual crime but in this case in schools it does seem to actually be going up. I don't think school is one of the most dangerous places as these are mostly extreme cases listed. The majority of the time and within my experience not anything close to awful violence happens on a regular basis. When this sort of thing does happen it's often to one person as a one-off situation. So no I don't think school is one of the most dangerous places for people physically. I do believe mentally it influences and impacts people in a much more dangerous way. Peers can tease and make fun of you and can create issues down the road if constantly abused. There is usually quite a mean and judging culture within classmates and if it takes out the wrong person too many times it can really hurt them.

As a final answer I believe it is situational and really depends on the outlook and personality of an individual. Some people fit the right pattern to be picked on or take things to heart. It can be dangerous but I don't think it's a good tradeoff as lots of people don't get affected in this way at all.
