I want you to close your eyes and picture yourself at your favorite café or relaxing spot. You're there with your laptop in hand with emails to respond to and to-do list items to check off. You see bar seating, booths, and individual work stations. Where do you choose? Ah, that's right. You have choice! Taking yourself back a few years (or more) to when you were in second grade. That's right. Remember those stiff chairs that left your bum asleep and your legs shifting to find comfort? Me, too! It was especially hard for friends who were fidgety. My dream of a classroom holds no desks. I even got rid of my own for the school year. My dream includes seated tables, standing tables, stools, and cushions galore!
