A Better Awareness Of School Safety From School Tragedies
While we would all hope that the horrific school shooting tragedies will never be repeated, they have resulted in an increased understanding of just how at risk school staff, and students may be. Apart from the usual blaming and trying to find who is at fault for essentially complex events and issues, there's also been an explosion of ideas on how to improve school safety. And, most schools have stepped up their efforts to improve teacher and student safety.
We Need More Awareness Regarding Teacher Safety Too
While teacher safety measures are certainly part and parcel of overall school safety, there's still room to go. School security has been stepped up, but school staff are not always as well protected when meeting outside of school hours than they are during school time. It needs to be addressed as a separate issue. For example, parent-teacher meetings can go bad too, and characterized by violence, or more commonly, verbal abuse that may require abusive people to be escorted out of the school.
With an apparent increased awareness of school safety, there have been more reports of assaults on teachers, primarily by students, but also by others, so hopefully, the same attention will be paid to 24/7 teacher safety.
