It was a good day. So my favorite class is biology. And I was really looking forward to the class because I like the teacher a lot. She's off the wall and kind of insane but I love her. Anyway, she added huge bouncy balls to her classroom this year, to be in place of chairs for those who would prefer to sit on a ball. She said that she knows how some people need to move, or learn best while being active and that she wanted to do something for those people. So she lets u bounce! There is no "stop fidgeting" and no "sit still and listen". It's amazing. It's not an accommodation or anything I asked for... It was just her insight. I can already tell this class will be my favorite class. And better yet, it's on the same day as I have my hardest class, so I will be able to de-stress!

This was something I would have never expected, being at a very rigorous college prep private school full of high achieving students. It's not an alternative school or anything. I think it's great that they are trying to meet the needs and learning styles of everyone.
