Stand Up Kids desks are just a version of what teachers have done for over thirty years. It does not need to be a special purchase nor should it be necessary to have stand up desks for all students in one classroom. ALL students do not need to stand up just like ALL students do not need to sit down. Teachers have always permitted flexibility in seating assignments when able to do so. That is why many invest in room size rugs, cushions, bean bag chairs, stools, high tables, low tables, etc. Stand Up Kids is simply another organization promoting an existing educational idea to a large market and profiting from it. New teachers are more gullible to marketing strategies. More experienced teachers have incorporated these same ideas for many, many years at their own expense thus saving school systems thousands of dollars. Please respect the expertise of our professionals. They have been “there and done that.”
