What is it about?
The paper reviewed students’ academic performance in physics caused by the failure of classrooms to meet up with the teaching and learning process due to students' and teachers' attitudes; professional and pedagogical factors. The paper discussed the full potentials available in our communities that can be used to teach physics for students’ better understanding. Some problems like school location, class size and others were seen as problems to the use of community resources. Some recommendations were suggested at the end of the review one of such recommendations was that government should develop rural communities to assist youth education. Keywords: classroom, community, resources, teaching and learning.

Why is it important?
Students' academic performance in physics is sometimes poor in many schools globally. It is essential teachers are aware that our surroundings are rich with resources that can help students learn physics effectively. It is vital teachers, and students use resources at homes, industries, artisan workshops and others for physics teaching and learning.
Perspectives
Physics could be taught and learned everywhere, including your bedroom, motor park and kitchen, not only in the classroom.
