<div dir="ltr">I also have rocking stools. I have 4 of them, plus 4 non-rocking (<a href="https://tinyurl.com/ycc2la34">https://tinyurl.com/ycc2la34</a>) in addition to 24 regular chairs, and 4 bar stools for a high top table. As Kristy said, if a student can't sit properly on one or the other, they are moved. Expectations are set up the first week of school, and there are no warnings. I just point to another seat and they have to move. I also explain that if they have sat in the same type of seat for more than 2 weeks in a row and someone asks to sit there, they have to let them. The kids are really good about telling on each other in terms of if certain kids are always sitting in them. There are usually 10 extra regular chairs, so I can move kids if they can't sit properly in the stools. In the beginning, kids run to the stools, but eventually everyone figures out what seat is best for them. </div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jun 29, 2020 at 2:47 PM Kristy Gilbert via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi Amy,<div><br></div><div>I have had half regular chairs and half of the rocking stools in my library (3rd-5th) for a couple years now and I love them. Yes, the kids fall off (at least one a class!), but if I see them using the stools inappropriately I just make them switch to a standard seat and that pretty much sets the tone for everyone else. They are so easy to move around and can even be stored all the way under the tables when I need more standing room or more space. I highly recommend!</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jun 29, 2020 at 1:19 PM Amy Webb via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info" target="_blank">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>I am considering purchasing stools for seating in the library. We currently have chairs with backs, and I feel they're uncomfortable and bulky, not to mention kids love to lean back in them. I'd love input from librarians that currently use backless stools as seating - what are the pro's and cons? These would be used in a K-5 library.
