Physical Environment Choices

I think an ergonomic designed desk chair is more appealing than a plastic classroom chair, but honestly, I'd rather not have to sit still for the next 12 to 13 years.  Now that I'm an adult and don't have to do the things the teacher told me to do, I often work semi-reclined on a couch or occasionally on the floor or a table, with all my stuff spread out.

Sometimes work has to be done from desk or a conference table, but I think we should allow children to try out multiple arrangements for getting their work done.  Sometimes a small change in scenery helps us think more creatively.  I've scene a few classrooms with cozy reading corners and inviting work tables, but shouldn't we have more of them?
