students' stress linked to class environments

From March 16th, issue. I have previously read articles about this very thing. If the school/class environment is lacking adequate supplies or the building is dilapidated or if the teacher or curriculum is appropriate this can cause added stress to students who, for many, already have stressful home lives. Everything I have read on this subject supports what this article states, "students in these kind of learning environments are more likely to have; learning, externalizing, interpersonal, and internalizing problems which translate to problems with attentiveness, arguing, acting impulsively, forming friendships, low self-esteem, and sadness". Basically students feel helpless and hopeless and they will give up. There needs to be some sort of measures taken so that schools are brought up to par.
