  Case: Set Up of the classroom
Is it old fashioned to want the seating in rows, with everyone facing the front. This way when teaching the teacher can teach facing front and be able to see the whole class at one time?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I am not sure what the question is, but to my knowledge row seating is the best and most common option for teachers to use during the beginning of the school year. This way students focus are centered on the teacher instead of any distractions. Throughout the school year the teacher may change seating depending on their teaching style, activities, etc. If the teacher uses a lot of collaborative group work it would be best to keep the seating set up for that.

Comments: I think it's a good idea for the first few weeks of school until they get situated but after that putting the tables in groups expresses the need for teamwork.

Comments: I agree that row seating is best and most common for teachers to use at the beginning of school. It is the time for establishing rules and procedures, giving directions and needing the students' full attention.

Comments: I disagree with your point that row seating is the best option. Students are nervous on the first day especially kindergarteners so, small groups are the best option for getting students acclimated with the classroom environment and their peers.

Comments: Row seating is good for some activities that require a lot of focus on the teacher. When the situation calls for it, adjust the seating arrangement to match the activity.

Comments: I agree with this solution and if I were in this situation, I would do exactly the same. The focus of the classroom should be drawn to the teacher. If that results in putting the students in rows, so be it.

Comments: I agree with this. Changing the seating as the year goes allows the students to have something new to look forward to as well keeping them in check because I'm sure they would prefer non row seating.
