The classroom has not changed much over the years starting with the typical desk or tables and chairs. In a world that is constantly changing, the classroom should be no different.
The classroom should be somewhere students want to be.
It should really feel like a home away from home. Having bean bags gives the classroom a different feel and a lot more comfort. It allows students to sit in positions that are conducive to the way they learn. It breaks up the classroom so students have a little bit more independent learning time away from their peers.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
