No to 8-Classroom "Agile" Furniture Pilot Petition: Signature List Feed http://gopetition.com/signatures/no-to-8-classroom-agile-furniture-pilot.html Online petition signatures en-us Thu, 9 Apr 2026 03:32 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Ms Deborah Baldwin [Signature #84] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18723401?utm_medium=rss Teachers are able to move around all day, yet we expect kids to sit still. This pilot doesn't even address this issue.
How about “sit/stand desk for students that could benefit from them?. Many people would be far healthier standing and walking about vs sitting. And when you don’t sit for long, the ergonomics of a chair matters little.

The staff is just going along with it because there is no other option. Many have spoken up against it but all concerns have been ignored. Teachers are now afraid to publicly stand against it due to a fear of backlash from the principal. I believe an anonymous survey should be given to all parents and staff.

We agree good posture is important. Studies have shown that a big contributor to weaker core strength in students these days is reduced recess times. Perhaps there are other ways we can use the schools' resources to help ALL our students achieve better posture in the long run.

The fund should be repurposed for other more urgent needs or for other initiatives that can bring tangible values to students. Even if the agile furniture is indeed worth the money, the scale of the pilot should be much smaller (1 class room at most)
