Students and staff walked into Cannon Fall High School(CFHS) and were met with a surprise. All the chairs have vanished. Various staff and custodians have been asked and the overall response was that the “chairs disappeared since sitting is the new smoking.” Sitting in chairs is addicting and makes a person sit for multiple hours on end. Studies overall show that standing and sitting on the floor can help with focus and well-being. Some classes such as Phy-Ed aren’t affected by this disappearance, while others such as Language Arts are trying to find new ways to sit. 

Students have varying opinions on the missing chairs. Some such as Maddie Olson say, “The missing chairs have been detrimental to our learning. The chairs are the main thing that helps us to pay attention. Without them, there have been a lot more disruptive events.” On the contrary, Danika Smith explains, “The missing chairs have been amazing. I get to sit in a more comfortable way.” She also said that there are fewer people zoning out and not paying attention now without the chairs. So CFHS students should watch out because the chairs have vanished. Also, they shouldn’t forget that sitting is the new smoking.
