[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]bouncy chairs for the ADHD kids and then lo and behold every 1st grader wants one. nice distraction from their 3-subject daily schedule.[/quote]

do you understand flexible seating?  It's not bouncy chairs for just ADHD kids.  It's bouncy chairs for anyone who wants to use one (and one is available).  It's do your work on a bouncy chair, with a lap desk, on the floor with a clipboard, at a table, a desk away from others, wherever you work best.  It's teaching kids to take responsibility for their own learning and environment.  Not doing your work isn't an option, so figure out where you can get it done.

And 1st grade now involves a ton of age-inappropriate physical demands.[/quote]

+1. Not the PP, but my son has flexible seating in his K classroom (bouncy chairs, different types of stools, floor with clipboard etc) and it's great and the kids love it.  His teacher says "the kids can focus on sitting still in the same types of chair or they can choose the seating arrangement that works best for them and focus on learning.' [/quote]
