Today in school we read a Time For Kids article called Taking a Stand. It states that a school in San Rafael, California is using standing decks instead of sitting desks. These believe that this is a much better method. I disagree. Continue reading to learn more and hear my opinion!

One reason they say standing decks are better is because they make students feel happier, less tired, and more active. I believe this is not true because when I stand for a short amount of time only, my legs start to cramp and get tired. That is the opposite of what a student should feel like. Therefore, I feel very unhappy, tired, and definitely less active. The article states “Some parents and teachers worry that kids will get tired and that standing for long periods of time may be harmful.” It also says that standing desks are more expensive. I believe that the schools could spend money on better things that expensive standing desks. Overall I think that the idea of standing desks is pretty foolish. What is your stance?
