Dogs reduce stress in classroom

When there’s a dog in the classroom, children are calmer, pay more attention and don’t fight as much. Stroking a dog raises oxytocin levels, a stress-reducing hormone, which also helps lower anxiety before a test.

      And they would probably learn a better lesson than what is in their books!

    I tried suggesting before but people never seems to listen nor trust that dogs/cats can reduce stress. >:(
