  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!)
This is not old fashioned, this type of seating has been tested and proven to be effective in the classroom. I would not recommend keeping students in this seating the entire year, though.

Comments: I do not agree with your point. I think small groups are the most beneficial to the students. Rows should only be used when the students are not capable of working effectively in small groups.

Comments: I agree, if the students are doing a lot of group work you should change the seating arrangements so that they can be in small clusters. There is nothing wrong with rows though, it is effective.

Comments: I agree with this solution and if I were in this situation, I would do exactly the same. The teacher should accommodate all students and try to rearrange the desks in different ways.
