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(1)romromseated 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-attend this school.They are e(2)xcitedxcited about their new desks."You feel happier,you're less tired,and you're more active,"Georgia says.Some of the desks have wheels and fidget bars(煩躁調(diào)節(jié)桿).The bars let kids m(3)oveove in a way that doesn't trouble the class.Wheels allow the desks to be moved e(4)asilyasily.The desks can also be changed into different heights.Kids take b(5)reaksreaks by sitting on the floor or on stools.
According to Mark Benden,director of the Texas A&M Center,standing workers are more focused and jye.aialthier.He says his research shows that kids using standing desks are busier and burn m(6)oreore calories(卡路里).In December,researchers in New Zealand,Australia,and the United Kingdom s(7)howedhowed similar findings.
However,not everyone believe that standing is better than sitting.Some parents and teachers worry that kids may get tired and standing for a long time may be bad for their h(8)ealthealth.And standing desks are more expensive.
Benden says b(9)othothsitting and standing desks can cause problems if they are not the proper height."Our m(10)essageessage should not be 'Sit less,stand more',"he says,"but 'Sit less,move more'. "
