Take a seat.

I was very annoyed at "Taking a Stand" [Short Stuff, D/J '07]. The point of going to school is to learn, not to run around your math class, listen to your iPod, roll around on exercise balls and IM during class. It seems the students in that Elton Hills Elementary School class have no limits at all. Standing up in class to try and control obesity is OK. But IMing other students while writing a report is where I say, "No way." Maybe chairs do make students antsy, but that's just how school is.
