Now we can say that the vice posture begins to take shape already during early childhood, when the body is still growing and not very structured in terms of muscle, begins to show itself to the forefront of social life and the child begins to cope with its first war, his first fears, his early failures.
Posture is defined as a body position maintained for a long time through the tonic contraction of several muscles, called antigravity muscles. The antigravity muscles acting through reflex pathways, contrasting so extended the force of gravity. The sitting and standing, are two typical postures. There is talk of defect or faulty posture when you have bad posture.
These, if not constitutional, in most cases arise as a response to insecurity or emotional instability that results in the physical inability to deal effectively with an initial force of gravity. This produces psychological and physical condition in some districts a progressive muscle weakness, sometimes accompanied by shortening and thickening of the muscle or tendon.
In addition, it should be noted that the posture is also strongly influenced their exquisitely-looking mechanical. It is from this that the phrase derives title of this article: Have you ever seen a school desk? By comparison, the stalls of the early 900 were more ergonomic, at least the support surface was tilted! Today, after more than a century, it seems that our technical knowledge we do not care anything!
Children grow up, some quickly, others less, but certainly not all have the same height. Younger children do not touch the floor with his feet and larger must fit in the bench and bend to read or write. 
How can we think that a child on the threshold of 2010 must pass more than half of his day sitting in a chair from the Middle Ages, with a front bench as obsolete?
It 's so hard to think of height-adjustable chairs and desks, or to use the most basic ergonomic concepts to create objects suitable to stimulate the paravertebral muscles to maintain correct sitting position?
They all acquired notions and well known of these, but do not know why, nor airplanes, nor on the trains let alone in hospitals or nursing homes, there is a minimum principle applied to ergonomic chairs or armchairs in use, the contario seem deliberately designed to give employment to the doctors: the construction companies that win contracts are sovereign dell'antiergonomia!
For obese then do not talk about it, you make so many speeches about the discrimination against the handicapped (which we call the disabled), but never one who thought the deep distress and embarrassment as well as the discomfort that can live a child or an adult obese on these chairs or armchairs. But it takes time to get on any train or plane or even in class an adjustable seat width? There seems so sci-fi?
But back to the children in the computer age it is possible that these creatures are forced to carry backpacks that weigh up to even half of their weight? The lesson may be viewed on screen with minimal expense to the school, notes and tasks could be written on sheets of filing without the need for books or notebooks. And after the ninth grade do not tell me that every kid does not already own a laptop.
We must keep pace with the times, we can not act as if there were no new discoveries. We must turn the page today is already more than yesterday!
I think frankly that the economic aspect is solvable if metessimo children as a springboard for the present and our future in the first place and not to the last and certainly not so rimanessimo Romantic anchored to our glorious past.
It 's like a father spending of all his money for its ancient and beautiful house to be restored to himself, the great-grandmother, grandmother, aunt and other relatives and then fail to nourish and dressed her children.
I do not seem normal.

They are mother and teacher, and daily contact with children who often assume awkward postures in the banks, maybe they think they are comfortable but they are certainly wrong. Think of a pupil who writes with her face in front of the blackboard and legs to the side, or turn your back because that is tired of being straight after sitting two hours later. Surely the school space and benches do not help the welfare of children: an increasing number of classes in a few square meters, counters that are the same despite the growth of children, etc ... The dream of having spacious classrooms, comfortable, colorful and ergonomic desks I think it is impossible given the difficulties in which the reel School today. It is we adults must help our children to avoid or minimize those behaviors, those dangerous for their physical postures. Allow a few minutes break between one and the other lesson, especially if children are small, because a remedy may be to discharge a minimum of tension and return to assume correct posture, play, jump, exercise intercalated between an explanation and the other class and lighten the body. Hello!

It seems a good observation, in fact, the small body is elastic and becomes rigid through the emotional strain. Good thing it would also give more space to exercise and to 'education for relaxation. Thanks.
