[quote=Anonymous]I recently took a brief tour of McKinley Elementary School in Arlington, because my son will be attending the school next year. Most of the classrooms have standard desks and chairs, but, for 4th and 5th graders, some of the rooms look a bit like a den or a living room, with sofas, lamps, soft carpets, etc. The atmosphere seemed a bit unstructured, with kids lounging here and there, some of them sprawled out on the floor, reading books. Is this a new trend? And does it facilitate learning or hinder it? Are there any McKinley parents who could share their thoughts with me? Does this approach extend beyond McKinley to other schools?
