mchaos commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amI like the idea too.
Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amI loooove this idea. With someone who has lower back pain ans past injuries, my physical therapist had be blog on an exercise ball. It so helped nd felt so good. It also developed core muscles.
Furthermore, working in the classroom twice a week, keeping kids still, in their seats, and not distracted is a problem. this would let them bounce and get their wiggles out while staying generally put.
This is a great idea. I might just pass this on. The only problem? Storage. Chairs go on desks at night so the janitor can vaccuum.
