Chapter 8: A Safe and Healthy School Environment

This chapter was all about the results of safe and healthy students on their grades and test scores. After reading this chapter I thought about the video that one of the students in our class showed about exercising before the hardest classes. I think that if students have an effective way to burn off energy then their brains will be more ready to focus in on the harder things. The chapter and I believe that students feeling safe plays a similar role. This safety aspect is the harder environment to create. This, according to the book, has to be created through the students, teachers, and administration. Without all of these players the safe community that all good teachers want for the students will not happen. It's a struggle that is constant, but attainable. It's worth the effort.
