My students sit for hours all day. This traditional school setup in which students sit for long periods does not work and is not effective for every student. I have found that flexible seating helps my students to focus on their learning. We currently have a classroom full of traditional desks in which students sit. I have found that when my students have a choice on where in the classroom they would like to complete their assignments, they are much more engaged. This is why I am asking for two Standing Desk - X-Elite Pro Height Adjustable Desk Converters to allow students who need it the choice to stand. Not only will these standing desks be inviting, my students will be able to complete activities away from their regular traditional desk while stretching their legs when standing and working.
