He somehow got those tables that can be put together to make a hexagon. I'm assuming he asked for them since no other non-art teachers had them. I'm going to teacher's college and this reminds me I met a prof already who's into the history of education and he said a big change in education was when schools started having movable desks in the 20th century.

That's why I sat up front in most, so I could interact more easily with the professor. I think it’s a great rule, because I start to get bored or even nod off if I don’t get to interact with a class.

I taught a class last term and had a good time mixing things up and getting students involved. Next term, however, I'll be teaching a class with 70-90 students and I'm more baffled about how to encourage the student involvement. Talking too much is a big problem at university, too.
