144. My son broke his teacher's collarbone.
He didn't mean to, but he's big--way bigger than she is--and he was swinging at another kid in the special ed room, and she somehow got in between them.

She's the sweetest teacher in the world and she still is fond of my son, even though he hasn't been in her classroom in a few years.

There aren't many jobs more dangerous than that of a special education teacher.
