Editing School social segregation (section)

===== Definition ===== 

School social segregation refers to the division of students into different social groups based on factors such as race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or popularity. This segregation can occur within schools at various levels, including classrooms, lunch tables, extracurricular activities, or social events.

School social segregation can have negative impacts on students' experiences and well-being. It can perpetuate stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination, as students may form biased opinions about others based on the social groups they belong to. This can lead to feelings of exclusion, loneliness, and low self-esteem among students who are segregated or marginalized.

The causes of school social segregation can be complex and multifaceted. Factors such as socioeconomic disparities, cultural differences, and personal preferences can contribute to the formation of social groups. Additionally, peer pressure, bullying, and societal expectations can further reinforce the divisions among students.

Efforts to address school social segregation involve promoting inclusivity, diversity, and equitable opportunities within the school environment. Schools may implement anti-bullying policies, cultural competency training for staff, and programs that encourage interaction and collaboration among students from different social groups. Creating an inclusive and welcoming school climate is crucial to reducing social segregation and fostering a sense of belonging for all students.
