My Project
This project is really meant to be part of a larger culture shift in the building. Students act differently when they have nice things, and I see that from my 20 years of experience working a lot of different jobs in K12 education. Right now we have students who do not want to sit at lunch tables that are low to the ground and give them little space to move.
With the addition of some high-top tables and stools, students will have the ability to stand at the tables, or even sit in isolation if they choose without it being as noticeable as sitting at the end of a long cafeteria table alone!
Seating options might not teach you much as a student, but the gesture from the staff to arrange for them and allow them to be used is really meant to build trust. Happy students make for happy teachers!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
