The small tennis balls that I am requesting for my students will be able to keep them safe, allowing them to stay focus on the academic work at hand, and not whether their tables or chairs are going to lean or shake. These balls attach to the legs of chairs and tables, which help keep them level. Having decent working desks and chairs which comes under safety along with comfort and reliability will allow my students to focus on the lesson at hand, instead of wondering if I'm going to fall out of my chair and hurt myself, or are the desks going to allow students to work securely each day. Many of my students take charge of their own learning and make the choices that work best for them. Currently my students are choosing to work at tables with loose uneven tables/chairs that are so uncomfortable due to the lack thereof of pegs that will support the chairs from rocking and forth yet very important to learning. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating, whether its my desk or another in the library. They try to make the best out of what we have making good choices about where they sit, so they're more engaged.
