From pre-kindergarten to high school seniors, all students are told not to lean in their chairs, tilt them back, rock on them, and to sit in them correctly. There have been innumerable times i have seen high schoolers break their chairs or tilt over because of this. In addition, I can't tell you how many pre-kers fall out of their chairs daily. Though this seems like a silly rule, people can get very hurt by this for example:
1. One boy fell out of his chair, hit his head on the table and got a concussion.
2 . Kids have tilted backwards out of their chairs and hit their whole bodies hard on the floor.
3. Chair legs are dangerous! In pre k I've tripped over chair legs sticking out because students weren't sitting in the chairs properly.
There are many different scenarios where kids can get hurt, not just the ones in the chairs but the people around them as well. Be careful, and sit in your chairs properly! This is an important rule at all ages.
This is an important rule! I still trip over chairs today! I like the desks that are attatched to the chairs because it seems like there are less problems with those. :] I remember when my brother was in 4th grade, and he got a concussion from someone pulling is chair out from under him right when he was about to sit down. Funny, but painful.
ReplyDeletePeople trip over each others' chairs daily! They are always in the way. Also, people who tip in their chairs always fall and those same people even do it again. I can't believe it! When I was in second grade, I was "swinging" in between two desks. Someone accidentally moved one desk and I fell on my knee and had to go to the emergency room! It hurt a lot but luckily it was just bruised!
ReplyDeleteI tell my kindergarteners that 4 legs on the floor not two and they just look at me weird all the time. What is up with that. This is a very important rule I hate to see kids get hurt specially when they aren't even sitting in there chair the right way.. I like this alot! =]]
