Перевод: Когда я впервые вошёл в свой новый класс в сельской школе, ученики сидели рядами. Моя предыдущая работа была в современной школе в столице, где ученики сидели по кругу. Я попросил учеников встать и передвинуть парты. После того как мы расставили парты по кругу, я попросил их сесть и начал урок. После того как мы несколько дней попробовали новую расстановку, я спросил учеников, что они о ней думают. Вот что они сказали: «Мы удивились, потому что раньше никогда не сидели по кругу. Мы всегда сидели рядами, и уроки часто казались скучными. Теперь у нас больше обсуждений, и каждый участвует». К счастью, директор согласился с ними! «Я не понял, что перестановка мебели может так сильно повлиять на ситуацию», — сказал он.
