My students come from broken homes that are very unstable, so traditional classrooms do not work for them. I’m trying to create an atmosphere that is safe and has a nurturing environment, so my students can learn, thrive, and grow. Giving them choice seating options empowers them to be leaders in their own education. The traditional desks can be very scary for my students and looked upon as being punitive. Choice seating still allows them the structure that they need for a successful learning environment, but with the flexibility and comfort to help them relax, so they can access their education.
