The Ideal Classroom

The ideal learning environment for me is one that is not structured so much like a classroom but has a calm peaceful layout that's spaced out. I would never have rows of desks in my classroom but rather tables that are spaced out throughout the room for a more comfortable working space.
I think learning time should never be longer than thirty minutes with breaks in between so the students have time for a "brain break" that will keep them focused more for the next activity rather than tired and lethargic. To elevate a students performance I would track their progress over time and how much they've grown from the beginning to the end of the lesson because it shouldn't be expected of a child to pick up something new they learned if they've never learned anything about it.
