Post: At the beginning of the school year I always tell children to sit at the front of the class, to be the student nearest to the teacher. Our eyes track movement and divert our attention. When we see students in front of us, our mind wanders and we become distracted. Positioning oneself directly in front of the teacher will remove obstacles and multiply opportunities for learning. Every movie or TV show you can think of puts the "bad" or poor performing students in the back of the classroom; it's just common knowledge. When possible, see that your student is positioned where they can learn the most. On that note, it's worth mentioning how their bodies should be positioned: upright, if not tilted in for maximum hearing. Comfort is not the goal, learning is! The tree planted closest to the river will be the one that flourishes.
