My Project

My students are the reason I love my job. Their boisterous personalities light up my classroom with an energy that is unparalleled in any other grade level, and they challenge me to be the best version of myself. However, when it comes working for long periods of time, it is difficult for little movers to sit in a typical classroom chair.

We want school to mimic the real world, it's purpose, in fact, is to prepare conscientious and able citizens that will participate in society.

Why then are classrooms not modeled after the most elite company offices? Look at progressive and highly competitive companies such as Google, their offices are inviting and their employees are happy to be there. The idea behind it is flexible seating, they don't have confining cubicles.

So why should our students?
