Elementary School
Transcript: In school many kids doze off and can't pay full attention in class due to dehydration. This is why we should pay more attention to extending the use of water fountains. We have concluded that schools don't have enough water fountains for the amount of kids in one school. If we were to extend the amount of water fountains we could make different size fountains for people who are smaller and taller. We also need to have the water bottle refill station on every floor so students can quickly refill their water bottle while going class to class. It can get quite annoying having to stand on your tippy toes or bend over in front of a crowd of people or wait in a long line just to get a sip of water but if we were to improve the water fountain by adding different heights and more fountains those problems wouldn't occur. Tip 2: Enough lockers for grade 5-8 Chairs What is School? As students, we think all schools should have ergonomically designed chairs. Ergonomically designed school chairs will enable students to sit in a matter that eliminates (or at least relieves) musculoskeletal stress, therefore helping students learn more effectively. Every student is built differently, in order for classroom chairs to be ergonomic, they would need to not only be ergonomically designed in terms of shape, but also completely adjustable- height, seat tilt, back tilt, and arm rests. Such chairs do exist in office settings, as well as for secretaries, receptionists, computer technicians, and even CEO s. Because students sit in chairs for about 80% of their time in school each day, students 18 and younger are in more risk of developing chronic musculoskeletal disorders then adults, because their bodies are still developing. Also it has been proven that with ergonomically designed chairs students are to make fewer mistakes, therefore getting better grades.

If schools had lockers, they would get to class on time, become very organized, and not be in risk of scoliosis, degenerative osteoarthritis and herniated discs. Suitable school bags for both comfort, and not to put stress of your spine or neck area. If every school had more water fountains and refill stations, students well remain hydrated for the day, while arriving to class on time. Lastly, if all students use computers properly they would not seriously damage their muscles, back, neck, shoulders, hands, wrists and eyes. If schools had all these qualities, schools would be more fun, healthier, and very efficient. In every school students are able to use computer technology. Students tend to sit a few inches away from their screen, especially on laptops. There are many ways to improve the way kids use the computers in school because when they aren't being used properly it can affect their health, the screen should be at least arm length away and also have your key board close to you. Your shoulders should be relaxed and elbows at a slightly open position. Every 20- 30 minutes try to do some exercises to relax your muscles, also try to look at a far distance. Not trying to improve the way you work can seriously damage your muscles, back, neck, shoulders, hands, wrists and eyes. Computer technology at School When you reach a certain age, somethings in life are often needed in school. And lockers are one of those things, we both agree that grades 5-8 should have lockers so they can arrange their supplies, so they can get class to class with no problems. If students had to carry everything around all day that they needed on a daily basis, students could get cases of chronic neck, shoulder and back pain from carrying it all. Lockers provide plenty of storage for all of their items and keeps students from experiencing pains that could haunt them throughout their whole life. In addition to extreme pains, the heavier school books kids are forced to carry around may get serious developmental problems. Many kids who improperly use backpacks to carry around all of their books are at an increased risk of scoliosis, degenerative osteoarthritis and herniated discs. 70% of school kids are now using unsuitable bags which in the long term is a serious concern, but with ergonomically designed school bags children won't have to suffer from serious health problems. Ergonomically designed backpacks are made to protect the growing spine and promote posture improvement. They provide support and padding that allows your back to rest in the correct position and prevents strains on the neck and shoulder. Regular school bags do not provide the
