The children of this generation are different than when we grew up. Some of them have little focus and find it hard to sit still. Their minds are constantly going at a faster pace, as is their body. It is my job to help them become as successful as they can by whatever means possible. I am asking for different types of flexible seating. I have been hesitant to start this transition but I know this is in the best interest of my students and their learning. I have already started the process by hunting down tables in my building and purchasing a few items on Amazon that fit in my budget. These items would push my flexible seating to the next level.
