Many of my students are high energy! I do know that children are forced to sit in typical seating to complete their work for most of their day and the cost of alternative seating, sadly, does not fit in most classroom budgets. I would love to be able to provide students with accessibility to alternative seating with Neorok stools. Alternative seating such as motion stools are proven to enhance students' concentration and attentiveness. Many students also thrive in small groups. Working at an Apollo Activity Horseshoe table with Neorok stools allows me to pull students to work in small groups in an interactive and comfortable table setting.
