Students from military families have unique challenges. They face frequent mobility, parental deployment, and parental separation. As a result, military students confront some educational roadblocks. They may experience education gaps, and they may struggle to sustain friendships and to adapt to a new school environment. Schools and teachers have important roles in helping military students cope with these stressors. However, many military families feel that schools and teachers do not understand the unique aspects of military life. Schools can assist the children from these families to cope with their stressors by creating a positive school climate and by providing resources and programs to help military students succeed in school.
