I wish they’d had these when I was a kid

GOOD IDEA.

This would have helped me so much in elementary school, you have no idea. I definitely think best when I’m moving (especially if it’s “light” activity like shaking my foot or even walking); I remember having trouble sitting still in elementary school just because I knew my thought process was a lot “fuzzier” if I had to stay motionless. Luckily my second grade teacher was super chill and liked me a lot; I remember swinging my legs and kicking the legs of my chair so much that I’d actually move my desk all the way across the tile floor.

Anyway, it’s not surprising to me that this would be beneficial to a LOT of students. And hell, if we’re starting to take away their recess time, at least let them freaking bounce their feet in class.

I’m tempted to buy one for my office in Calgary.
