Grade 1 teacher converts classroom to stand-up desks

Rural Saskatchewan teacher Justin Sauer has converted his classroom to stand up desks at Delisle Elementary School south of Saskatoon. There are no chairs in the classroom for young students but the kids don’t seem to mind. They get to sit sometimes — like when they read or work on the computer. But the lectures are on two feet. Their teacher was looking into methods to rehabilitate his own injuries and came across studies showing the benefits of standing, and thought he’d try it in his class.
