Benefits

For many students everyday classroom life involves trying to sit still, taking focus away from learning. With the standing desks, students are able to stand up during the school day and move without being a distraction to their classmates or teachers, while also potentially improving their concentration. Standing desks gives students the chance to move while they work on projects, papers and even takes a test. Studies have shown that moving may help increase academic abilities, and facilitate learning.
