[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm with you OP. I don't see it as an issue of the teachers not teaching, but having the desks facing each other in groups of 6-8 is so distracting. All I hear about is the kids chatting and gossiping when they should be working. Back in my day (ha!) the desks were all in a row and you stared at the back of someone's head. I may not be as into teamwork because of it but our classes were much better behaved than what I hear from my kids. How do you not talk when facing each other in a group - it's just human nature. [/quote] When I was in elementary school in the 90s, we had the desks pushed together into groups. Whether the kids listen has much more to do with the teacher and the material than the arrangement of the desks.[/quote]
