The physical environment of a classroom is extremely important because i an influence the way teachers and students feel, think, and behave. I a student feels pressured, under stress, unhappy,or unsafe, it would be impossible for her or him to learn the lessons planned by the educator Likewise, if a teacher feels unhappy or disorganized because of the classroom's lack of order or detail, the ability for her to teach is greatly diminished. The environment of a classroom serves four basic functions: security, social contact, pleasure, and growth. For real learning teaching to take place, all four of those needs must be met by and the class space.
