These will make a difference because the kids will not be distracted by ALL of the things on their tables all day. They have no desks, and it really affects them to not be able to store their things somewhere. These chair sacks have pockets to teach them organizational skills, which will be carried with them for the rest of their life. If I can emphasize the importance of organization and minimizing distractions when working, I think they will be more successful as they grow older. I expect this to help show tremendous improvement with their focus levels!
