A3 To be honest, I use the flexible seating choices myself... That's a hidden perk. Those cushions are quite nice in book clubs. #d100chat

Teachers can never base what they do in their classroom this year on what next year's teacher may or may not do. #d100chat

NEVER. When you give them the clarity that that could truly be an option they respect the flexible seating choices! #d100chat
