I really enjoyed this read. It was comforting to know that my classroom is not one where the students typically sit and listen. However, I think it is important to note how detrimental sitting is to our physical and mental health.
I was a bus driver for 5 years where I had to sit for 4-10 hours in a day. Unfortunately, I found out a couple years ago that CDL driver was the unhealthiest occupation in the US, mostly because of the length of time you sit. The human body did not evolve to sit for long lengths of time.
I think it's important that we remember this in our classroom and be mindful of the natural state of humans.
