  Case: Inappropriate Classroom Seating
I am interning at a high school this semester and in my learning strategies classes my teacher has the student desks arranged in rows. Of course this is an option included in how one can set up the classroom, but for this specific group of students it does not benefit or support their learning or even the classroom environment. This class definitely does not have a community atmosphere present, as when students are encouraged to work with each other no collaboration takes place. I believe the seating needs to be changed, as it would promote involvement of the students.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If I were in this situation, I would talk to the teacher about trying a new seating arrangement. Ask her if you could try a new arrangement because you think it would benefit her and the students. If she does not want to move the desks around maybe ask if you could rearrange the students assigned seats and see if that makes a difference.
