My Project

Flexible seating allows students to learn in positions that suit them best. Some students may choose to stand, while others may prefer sitting on the ground.

Prolonged sitting in rigid or uncomfortable seats can result in drowsiness, discomfort, lack of focus, increased misbehavior, and poor posture.

Flexible seating can also help students develop self-awareness and self-regulation skills. By allowing them the freedom to choose how and where they sit, students learn to recognize their own needs and preferences, leading to improved concentration and productivity. It is crucial for classrooms to feel safe and inclusive.

Offering flexible seating is an excellent way to ensure that all learners' preferences are accommodated.
