The effects of discrimination, bullying, alienation, and violence of students and the learning environment

Discrimination, bullying, alienation, and violence of students affect the learning environment in many different ways. All of these things have a negative effect on learning. Discrimination, bullying, and alienation can make a student feel singled out or alone. This may bring their self-esteem levels down, which, in turn, may affect their confidence in their schoolwork and make it more difficult for them to try again and learn from their mistakes on a concept if they do not understand it for they first time. Discrimination, bullying, alienation, and violence are all very big distractions in the classroom. They make it so students cannot concentrate on the lesson. These actions are all major obstacles that a teacher has to face in the classroom. A teacher needs to put forth their best efforts to eliminate or counteract these kinds of negative and hurtful actions. To minimize these actions and their effects, a teacher needs to create a safe and supportive learning environment inside the classroom. A teacher should make an effort to do disciplinary action the first time any of these actions are seen to show that it is not tolerated under any circumstances. Many times these actions can occur when students are bored, if these kinds of actions seem to recur, make an effort to keep the students busy. If things do not get better, the teacher can always have a parent-teacher conference to try to get the parents involved to eliminate these behaviors. Dealing with these actions can vary from student to student and each student can react differently to disciplinary action.
