Imagine the teacher trying to teach the main idea. You are a first-grader who is just thinking about recess and running outside to get to the swings. It is hard to focus on what the teacher is saying when I want to jump right up and play outside. Now imagine if that first grader had a stool that he would wobble back and forth on. The energy that is bottled up in their body is now being exerted on the wobbling of the chair. Their focus is now off the playground and on the main idea lesson.
These flexible seating options can increase physical activity in the classroom while improving a child's ability to focus and display better on-task behavior. An uncomfortable student is a distracted and unproductive student. Let's hope these items can help change that.
