Students who sit at the side of the classroom are normally interested in class.Where you sit and how you fit_ For more than seventy years, researchers and teachers have studied the link between the place where students choose to sit in class and what they are like as people and learners. Where do you usually decide to sit? Have you ever really thought about the reasons for your decision?_ But is this really true? Well, some researchers say it is not. In fact, shy students often choose the back row because it is far away from the teacher and they dont want to answer questions. At the back, students probably wont speak much, but in big classrooms, it can be hard to see the board and hear what the teacher is saying. This could be the reason why students who sit here often get lower grades on tests and exams. For students with poor eyesight or hearing, a seat at the back of the classroom is not a good choice._ However, they like watching and listening rather than joining in.
