Respect is important in school because it sets a healthy environment in the classroom in which one learns. There would be no desire to teach or to learn without respect from the students and the teachers. Showing disrespect can distract a child from learning to his or her best ability. They can’t do their best performance if there is disrespect between the kids or teachers. Treat others in the way you’d want to be treated.
