I can think of a few reasons this is a bad idea.
First, maybe they don't want to. They've seen enough shit and horror to last them a lifetime.
Next, it's expensive. Assuming they would be paid what an average security guard makes ($55k) it would cost $4 Billion a year to place one in every school across the US
Finally, it's a bandaid solution that patches a problem instead of curing it.
