Va. Teacher Experiments With Couches, Coffee Tables Instead of Desks, Chairs

You may look at Belmont Ridge Middle School seventh grade teacher Jason Augustowski's language arts class and see a bunch of couch potatoes, but that's not the case.

The teacher has swapped out the desks and chairs for couches and coffee tables to set the mood for something different in how students learn.

The experiment will be assessed at the end of this marking period and could be expanded to other classes if it proves to help students learn.
