  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!)
Row seating has both positives and negatives. Row seating is proven to keep students on task most often compared to other types of seating and is good for testing, but students in the back are prone to misbehavior and it can be frankly boring.

Changing up your seating arrangements to reflect what is happening in the class is smart. Row seating is good for lectures, group seating is good for group projects, and cleaving the seats into two halves facing each other is good for class debates.

I would say to switch up the seating every now again to keep things fresh, like every nine weeks or so. I personally love group seating, and U-shape seating can also be very nice.
