Many students have had a full year of learning at home. While at home, the majority of these students were not at a tradition chair and desk. They have gotten use to learning in a comfortable environment, why can we not provide that at school. Mild fidgeting can help a person to think better and makes them more expressive. Doing this also sharpens focus and acts as a stress reliever. So, I believe we should provide some approved and safe ways for students to fidget while they work. Having flexible seating options in the classroom is a great way to do that.
