Leaving no stone unturned

Is there a possibility of the existence of a toxic and unhelpful environment in a school? If the goal is to ensure a totalitarian emphasis on championing an effective learner support system, then no stone should be left unturned. There is every justification to explore the subject, however, unlikely it may seem.

The purpose is to build awareness on an array of issues that can conspire to prevent a school from running at its optimal best. Schools by nature are anchored on hope and a creation of endless possibilities for all students. To achieve this noble end, all schools should never cease to endeavour to accommodate all students and guide them towards the fulfilment of their dreams and aspirations.

Yet the stumbling block could be the prevalence of a toxic environment, which may be quiet and subtle and therefore difficult to uproot. In a toxic environment negativity and reckless conduct may prevail, giving birth to the undesirable culture of low expectations and low student morale .
