You know those jokes about the statistician who says that such-and-such thing kills fewer people than car crashes and people worry too much about it, and the other statistician responds that the people who know the statistics about car crashes probably don't worry enough about such-and-such?
See for example https://xkcd.com/795/ https://xkcd.com/795/
School safety is a bit like that. If you look at generic statistics it looks like school is safer than home, but if you are the sort of person who worries about relative safety of schools vs homes and looks up statistics, then schools will in average be less safe than your home.
