When I was Barrington Elementary School I was always known as the good kid or the teacher's pet . But being known as those things had it perks. I was always the student to get selected to guide new students around the school and show them their cubbies and all the teachers.But there always cons.There was once this new girl named Gabby who was so quiet and did not speak at all . She was a smart kid but that was not accepted in elementary school by other kids. The students would sometimes call her lame and also other mean words like nerd. There was once this time when I heard Jordan Brewer ‘’the school known bully’’ say to her ‘’ Why won't you go back home , you're not accepted here’’ I know It had to be really hard on her

    From my personal experience, when I was in elementary school I remember my teacher would let us sit on yoga ball it always helped me concentrate and it helped me when I was really active because I could not move around, it will make me fall if I move around. I like the idea of standing desks because I prefer standing a lot but when I need to I could sit down on the tool, but I could still move my legs around and be somewhat active.
