red star news reporters saw at the scene that these desks and chairs look similar to ordinary desks and chairs, but they actually have a "secret." press the buckle under the desk to tilt the desk away, pull the armrests on both sides of the chair, and lean back to adjust the backrest. with just a few simple steps, a set of desks and chairs can be transformed into a "nap lounge chair."
"the desks and chairs can be tilted up to 130 degrees." fan xiaorong introduced that the school's reclining desks and chairs are made of soft bamboo weaving, which is breathable and comfortable. there is a push-pull basket under the chair to store quilts, which is convenient for students to use during lunch breaks. in addition, the desks and chairs are adjusted according to the height differences of students in different grades. senior students can pull out the backrest to increase the height to get a more suitable "lying and sleeping" experience.
"lying down for a nap can help children sleep more comfortably." a parent told red star news that both he and his wife have to go to work, and their child takes a nap at school at noon. in the past, he could only sleep on his stomach, and after waking up, his arms often felt numb, and his neck sometimes hurt. lying down for a nap can help children rest more comfortably.
fan xiaorong told the red star news reporter that the school was newly built and this year it enrolled students in grades 1-5, with a total of 1,194 students. because the school is not a boarding school and has no dormitories, the children can only take a nap in the classroom after lunch. the autumn schedule is from 1 pm to 1:50 pm, and the teachers will watch over the children as they rest in the classroom.
"children used to lie prone for naps. after the new school was built, in order to strengthen students' sleep management, school leaders went out to many places for inspection and obtained corresponding financial support. finally, they chose desks and chairs that students can lie down to sleep on." fan xiaorong said that the school purchased 1,480 sets of desks and chairs, and prepared them for sixth graders. the school also made a special video on how to use them, which was distributed to each class on the first day of school. "there are also air conditioners in the classrooms, which are mainly to ensure the children's sleep quality and ensure that students get enough rest in a comfortable environment, which does not affect learning efficiency and promotes physical and mental health."
