The new year brought new desks for students at Vallecito Elementary School, in San Rafael California. The last three of the school’s 22 classrooms changed f 41 seated desks to standing desks. “It’s now the first all-standing school,”Juliet Starrett told TFK. She started the group called “Stand-Up Kids”.
Starrett’s daughters—Georgia, 10 and Caroline, 7—a 42 this school. They are excited about their new desks. “You feel h 43 , you’re less tired, and you’re more active,” Georgia says. Some of the desks have wheels(轮子) and fidget bars(烦躁调节杆). The bars let kids m 44 in a way that doesn’t trouble the class. Wheels allow the desks to be moved e 45 . The desks can also be changed into different heights. Kids take breaks by s 46 on the floor or on stools.
According to Mark Benden, director of the Texas A&M Center, standing workers are more focused and h 47 . He says his research shows that kids using standing desks are busier and burn more calories(卡路里). In December, researchers in New Zealand, Australia, and the UK shared similar findings and a 48 more schools to use standing desks.
However, not everyone believes that standing is better than sitting. Some parents and teachers w 49 that kids may get tired and standing for a long time may be bad for their health. And standing desks are more expensive.
Benden says b 50 sitting and standing desks can cause problems if they are not the proper height. “Our message should not be ‘Sit less, stand more’,” he says, “but ‘Sit less, move more’.”
