Research shows that student choice in seating increases students' grades and their engagement. They are happier at school, and research says that they will increase their academic cooperative conversations. Students can clearly articulate what their needs are and how the learning environment helps them meet their needs. It increase their abilities to problem solve which makes students more critical thinkers. Choice classroom seating creates opportunities for collaboration, increased communication, creativity, and more critical thinking by helping students manage their physical environment. Students will be able to lay down, stand up, move around, and move flexibly while growing their brains with these wobble chairs and floor seats. Job environments no longer are in cubicles, so why should our schools look like that?
