I'm typing this at a standing desk...maybe schools should use them too. Standing desks are good for school-age children too : TreeHugger
It might be worth a try.
The research was conducted at three central-Texas elementary schools, and 374 students from different grades participated in the study.
Students who used the standing desks were found to burn 15 percent more calories than those using traditional desks. Younger students were found to be more willing to stand than older ones.
Researcher Mark Benden told Fast Company that teachers also reported that students concentrated better when using standing desks. However this variable wasn’t measured by the study—but came from follow-up interviews.
It might be worth a try.
