Quote:A lot of people say we should stand up for education but, at Vallecito Elementary in San Rafael, they’re actually doing it.
“To me, this is the wave of the future,” says 4th grade teacher Maureen Zink.
In four of the school’s classrooms, chairs have been removed and students spend the day standing at their desks. Some parents, concerned about how sedentary kids have become, donated money for the new desks.

Will be interesting to see how this turns out. I could see it going either way, but I'll give them credit for trying something new.

Standing in one place always hurts my back. I can be on my feet for a 12 hour shift, not sitting down once, and it won't bother me as much as having to stand still in one place for an hour. Not sure why that is, just saying.

I have several coworkers that have a standing desk. They seem to like ti, for now.
