What do you think of putting treadmill desks in schools?

I slept during tests. It improved my concentration, just before a final review of my answers. Managing mental fatigue was half the battle anyway.

I was mostly kidding about removing chairs, as the comedic timing seemed right given the previous and following posts pointing out the folly of treadmills.

There certainly is a place for standing, and walking about. Acting, group work, art, science projects, workshops (including metal shop, wood shop, cooking, tv production), and anything hands-on: all often best done standing.

There's a place for standing but it's really on a level to integrate with classroom activity-- root level rather than broad sweeping acts.

Still standing up still generally keeps students from falling asleep at least.

I totally agree.
