The twenty-first century has brought about many changes, among these is the change of the structure of some classrooms. The "starbucks" style classroom that consists of lounge chairs and couches in a relaxed manner has become the topic of popular discussion. This provides a learning environment that is more peer taught, as opposed to lecture driven. I think this new classroom setting is beneficial, however I do not think it should completely replace the traditional style classroom. The "starbucks" style classroom is proving beneficial now, however, when this becomes the new standard, students will eventually get used to their surroundings and become disenchanted again. Therefore, my ideal classroom would consist of the traditional desks, but also have areas with more relaxed atmosphere to complete certain activities.
