It is interesting with standing space for some of your work. I find that I can't stand and do certain types of work (I have a standing desk I use a lot). Writing which require assembling a lot of information into something coherent is really hard for me to do standing. I could imagine that maths would be the same, but I haven't tried it. If you then have a class room with only standing space, maybe that isn't great. But it could of course be the opposite, that standing works better.
- kwhitefoot 11y agoOffice work and education are different things. I have a standing desk and I use it standing about half the time. I mostly design, write, and debug software and I can do it standing as easily as sitting. But I couldn't do that work effectively in the classroom described in Gates' article. On the other hand, when discussing new features and brainstorming radical changes then that classroom looks just like the conference rooms that we do use for that.
