Thediscrimination It refers to a prejudiced assessment of someone due to some condition of their person, usually associated with the characteristics they have due to their family ancestry in various issues (religion, socioeconomic status, nationality).
Discrimination, however, can be motivated by differences related to genes and the appearance of a person's body, or even according to the sex of the person, or the sexual choice that they developed.
On many occasions, discrimination is considered to be an act that occurs between strangers, and is restricted to the street or the public sphere. The reality, however, indicates that there are many occasions in which scenes of discrimination occur within an intimate nucleus, many times starting with the same family.

The school, as a formative institution prone to the coexistence of different people, is not exempt from this. On the contrary, school development is the first where a person comes into contact with some who do not constitute his family, but are "strangers." In this sense, the school acts as the first institution in which one meets people he does not know, and naturally the question of the prejudices made will be decisive.
Not a few say that children are especially cruel or bad in some of their attitudes. Actually, it is preferable to say that They have not built the framework to measure the implication of the mockery or the bad treatment that can be done to the otherThey have not oiled the mechanism of imagining themselves in the place of the other. Child abuse, fights and tantrums when interacting with each other are common from the earliest moments of childhood, and not all such treatment should be compared and equated with discrimination.
It is at the moment that children are able to understand the differences that exist between them that school discrimination appears. Over the years, it has become common for children to see discrimination as a first reaction to these differences: children who belong to the majority groups have the best luck and will never be made fun of, while always They want to be included in the group of those who mock.
The school, aware of the high probability of such phenomena occurring, must carry out Preventive actions. There are also teachers and even schools that inadvertently reproduce the phenomenon of discrimination towards those belonging to certain minorities, which later becomes inserted in children and it is very difficult to remove it, causing very strong pain and anguish in the discriminated against that sometimes he has no other option than to change schools.
