I came across this article in NY times today and thought that is was a really great idea. Allowing children to sit or stand at taller desks with stools (if they want to use them) is brilliant. It gives the kids some control over being comfortable & what works best for them. I know being crammed into that dinky little rock hard desk when i went through school really sucked!
After reading the article it became apparent that the kids liked the idea of being able to sit or stand. The idea came from Dr. James Levine, a prof at the Mayo clinic, and what he calls a activity permissive classroom. The whole thing is basically being looked at as an experiment in some classrooms in Minnesota & Wisconsin. Overall they’re hoping to see an improvement in both health and academic achievement from the use of these desks. The study is being conducted through the Uni of Minnesota.
