suggestion on our seat sequence

  On Tuesday, Difei mentioned our preference to the position of seats. I suggested that we would make draws to decide our seat sequence, but it seemed that no reception is arisen. So I want to use this blog as a proposal that we should make draws to decide our seat sequence. Here are some advantages.

  Firstly, it is fair for everyone to decide the seat sequence by making draws. On the present condition that the one who comes early can choose the seat he likes, we all come to classroom earlier and earlier to occupy a “good” seat. Since the boys’ buses always come earlier than the girls’, unless there is a special situation, the boys always take over the seats at the back of the classroom leaving the seven seats in the front of the classroom for girls. Thus this “first come, first served” method seems unfair to girls.

  Secondly, we can have a chance to take every seat and have a different experience. Most of us have formed a habit to take in one or two specific seats in the past three months. Besides, some of us have their own “good” seats so that they will take them unless they have been occupied by others already. For example, some of us prefer to sit in the back of classroom, and some of us like to sit near the power point. What is more, some of us are used to sit beside someone who is familiar, and they always sit in a fixed sequence. When we have the discussion, they always discuss with the same people, which cannot improve their spoken ability. By the method of draws, this disadvantage can be eradicated, and we all can have a fresh experience every day.

  Lastly, if we are assigned by the draws, we do not need to hesitate in choosing the seats. Most of us have difficulty in choosing, and someone will worry about which seat he should take. We may have the experience that when there are just several seats remaining, it is quite hard to choose. If we decide the seat sequence by making draws, we will never suffer from the feeling of hesitation.

  Above all the advantages, it is out of question that we should decide our seat sequence by making draws. So what is your opinion about this? I am looking forward to hearing your voices.
