Seating ARRANGEMENTS For Students Require A Major Update

Carter High is a good school overall, but like all things it is far from perfect. One thing that could be improved easily is the seating arrangements for the students. Because at the moment, they are not ideal.

The chairs that students currently have to sit in are all hard and flat. Since they must sit in them for hours at a time, this is quite taxing on the lower body. To further accentuate the issue, a few of the teachers and staff have access to softer, more comfortable chairs.

It is difficult to concentrate on lessons and assignments when you’re not very comfortable. Zoe Strope, a student at carter high has had trouble sitting at the classroom desk for hours at a time as the hardness of the seats make her rear and back sore. Every chair she sits in during the school day is extremely difficult to get comfortable and learn in.

The argument could be made that the reason for the hard chairs is so they are easier to clean, and that students being uncomfortable will decrease the odds that they will fall asleep during class and miss out on important material. If teachers established rules about drinks with lids and non-messy snack items and the students got good nights’ rests, those problems would be eliminated.

To conclude, something should be done about the quality of chairs for students. If they were able to sit more comfortably, they would learn a lot more effectively.
