The chairs that I have chosen are so students may have an option of what they would like to sit on while they learn. From my experiences in many classrooms, I notice that children move a lot, so seats that wobble will be beneficial to my students. I know that I move around to find cozy places to sit to do my work, so why wouldn't a child want to do the same? My students deserve the chance to learn how they learn best; if they learn best sitting in a standard chair, so be it; if they learn best by sitting in a wobble chair, so be it or if they learn best sitting on the carpet, so be it. We will never know if we do not give them the option in the first place.
