When a student is in the classroom, sometimes they aren’t just thinking about what’s on the board. Sometimes their mind is clouded with friendship drama, family events, thoughts about the past, or what is yet to come. For some, it is difficult to focus in a classroom when you were struggling at home. Whether a child is struggling to balance extracurriculars with education or witnessing their parents divorce, anything that happens outside the classroom usually affects them inside the classroom. This can display itself through anger issues, bullying, a lack of focus, and other ways. For situations such as this, many schools have counselors for children to work with or sometimes even just vent to.
