Why we should have assigned seats?
Why we should have assigned seats? Some say having assigned seats helps students focus on their work, instead of where they'll sit. Teachers also argue that it cuts down on distracting talk in the classroom because kids can't choose to sit next to their friends.
What are the disadvantages of seating arrangements?
Students sitting in the last rows are more likely to be distracted, lose focus and converse with others. Students can easily become disengaged during the lesson. This layout is not useful for classes designed for conversation and interaction and not easy for the instructor to observe students in the mid and back rows.
How to do assigned seats?
Draw a blank seating chart with the desks labeled by card, and make multiple copies of the blank version of this seating chart. These can be filled in with names to make permanent seating charts once you know the kids better. Remove cards as needed from the second deck so it matches the cards taped to the desks.
Why is a seat called a seat?
The word seat comes from Middle English sete, Old English gesete/geseten and/or s?te seat, sittan to sit. Possibly related to or cognate with Old Norse sæti. The first known use of the word seat is in the 13th century.
