Everyone comes to class with some emotional baggage. Most students will carry it without the teacher ever noticing. Some, however, are going through difficult things and these may come out in a school setting. In the United States, among other places, educational experts are focusing on traumatized children and their inclusion rather than excluding them for "bad behavior."

Computer science likes to use metaphors in its interfaces. As a result, using analogies to teach and understand code is not at all far-fetched - quite the contrary.
Playing and experimenting: alternative approaches to music education
Music is one of those areas where the school seems to take only one approach. In general, this consists of learning the scale, sheet music and then technique for different instruments. However, there are active methods that can be used from an early age to familiarize students with the language of music.

A significant portion of students cannot make do with scholarships or do not have family financial aid. In short, to survive, they have to take a part-time job. This experience can have advantages if it is related to the field of study, but it requires a balance and prioritization of the training.
