I asked the kiddos yesterday what they liked best about the desks, what made these desks better than their other classrooms. Their response was that they're more comfortable, they have more space, and they like the design. Because they are not allowed to bring bookbags into classrooms, and they don't like to sit their books on the floor, they like that the desks are a little bigger and they give them enough space to put their belongings without compromising writing space.
We had an interesting discussion today about the durability of the desks. I was running through the earthquake procedure with them, and explained they would need to get under the desk to protect their head and spine. They were concerned that the surface of the desk was not strong enough to withstand stuff from the ceiling falling down. I told them I would double-check on that! I'm thinking that it could withstand lights and ceiling tiles but likely not a whole cement and steel roof. Thoughts?
