need questions!

Good day my dear reader!

I was pondering something the other day, a note that a non-teaching friend of mine had about violence in the classroom. So I thought that I would find out just how teachers have been affected in the classroom by the violence that surrounds us. And then I also wondered about violence in any work place and how it affects a person who works there.

So I have decided to make a survey that will be done via the web that will allow people from all walks of life to chime in. What I am asking from you, my cherished reader, is this - what would be some questions that you would feel are appropriate to ask in such surveys?

Here are some ideas that I have already:
Teaching
- Have you ever been involved in breaking up a fight between students?
- Have you ever been assaulted by a student? If so, was there a weapon involved?
- Have you ever been verbally threatened by a student or parent?

Non-teaching
- Have you ever been assaulted by a peer at work? If so, was there a weapon involved?
- Have you ever been verbally threatened by a co-worker?
- Has there been an act of violence at your workplace? (I leave this question off the teaching questions simply because I know that there is not a single school out there that has not had a fight at it.)


Any other ideas? I am asking demograghic questions like time employed, age level taught (for teachers), education level (non-teachers), etc. What ever you can add would be greatly appreciated. If you send me your email address, I'll be sure to include you in the survey when it launches.

Thanks for any help you can give...
