Re: What's the best shape for student work tables?

[Lee Gordon <lgordon@LVCM.COM>]

Robert,
    I would LOVE to have rectangular tables.  I'm at a high
school and our small round tables (about 42" across) are way
too small to accommodate students with work spread out.  And
it encourages a more "social" climate.  In fact, I only
allow 3 students (or less) to sit at the tables.  The 4th
chair is for book bags.  I want at least square tables--more
elbow room and the potential to be arranged in a variety of
ways to fit the circumstance (longer tables, etc.).  Round
tables are very limiting.
