My room is very small. Old, school desks do not accommodate restless students today. They need ways, like a Bush Furniture Cabot Standing Desk, to stand up and get their blood flowing while they think and work. Come to think of it, it's how most adults work. Therefore, I have requested standing desks to enhance, facilitate and support their learning. Students need to be physically comfortable to work well by themselves and with others. Learning should always address kinesthetic needs of kids. With these kind of standing (tall) desks ( I really need 15 of them) students can learn, interact, read and produce more actively, thus, more comfortably.
