In addition to submitting their mental capacities to the process of teaching and learning, attending school also means that students submit their physical selves and their bodies to a frequently unvaried regime of sitting still at a desk for hours and hours. In today’s schools, the effect and impact of that constraining physical regime goes largely unrecognized. What does it do to the mental and physical development of students? How do students deal with it? Are there ways to better accommodate the needs of mind and body in schools? This is a topic of great importance for understanding the everyday life of students—and one that lends itself wonderfully to be studied by means of visual inquiry.
