text: A big problem is students and their mental health. Many people say that school is a welcoming place where all students are treated fairly and given the best learning experience. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. Many students suffer from anxiety and depression that was caused by a poor school environment and a poor learning experience. Everyone knows that some form of bullying goes on in most schools and sometimes adults in the building turn their heads the other way and choose to ignore it. That can cause depression in the kids who are bullied because they will feel that nobody cares about them since nobody is helping stop the bullying. Teachers are also a reason why students can develop anxiety or depression. Sometimes teachers will tell students that they wont help them and that he/she should have been paying attention the first time the lesson was taught. Although, some students really dont pay attention when they ask for help, this is not the case for all students and teachers should not assume that it is. What teachers fail to understand is that some students do try, and they try really hard to understand something but not everyone learns in the same way or at the same pace. Some might even have ADD (attention deficit disorder) or ADHD ( attention deficit hyperactive disorder) which are mental disorders that cause a person to struggle with learning and can only be corrected by taking medication. I have personally experienced this exact event and it creates the worst feeling in the world. Students will no longer ask for help because they are too afraid of being shut down by the person who is supposed to help them. They will suffer in silence and eventually fail the class. With online classes this might not be the case. Most likely, the teachers who truly care about the students would be the ones in charge of the online classes so students wont have to worry about being shut down and they will get help from the teacher so they can succeed. They would also be in their own home and cant be bullied there. Support and help is important and this can be given through online classes that are taught by teachers who care.
