Should seats be assigned at school?

If you had a choice, would you rather have the teacher assign you a seat in class or would you rather pick your own every day? We asked 55 kids in grades three to five and here is what we found out:

Decide on our own: 45

Let the teacher pick: 10

Kids said that they liked the freedom to sit where they want. This way they can sit with friends or study partners. Other kids felt they were better off letting the teacher decide and this way they would always know where their stuff was in the classroom.
