Classroom elements such as the type of lighting, amount of space, or the arrangement of the furniture influence intellectual stimulation and educational development (Asiyai, 2014). Additionally, using chair bags, desks with components, and having desks that do not face windows can eliminate many distractions (Guardino & Fullerton,
