[ISLMA-Share] classroom flex seating

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Oh.  My.  Gosh.  NOOOOOOO chairs with wheels!

You will be looking out at a sea of bobbing, weaving, spinning, rolling
bodies to the point that it makes you seasick.  Seriously, the rolling
chairs are making me insane.It doesn't help that both the kids and I are
constantly tripping over the chair legs because they angle out more than
regular, normal human-people chairs without wheels.  With regards to
movable tables, definitely wheels that lock.  Make sure the table tops hang
out over the legs at the end.  Both our rectangular and octagonal tables
have legs that you cannot sit at comfortably without banging your knees.
