Office work and education are different things.  I have a standing desk and I use it standing about half the time.  I mostly design, write, and debug software and I can do it standing as easily as sitting.  But I couldn&#x27;t do that work effectively in the classroom described in Gates&#x27; article.  On the other hand, when discussing new features and brainstorming radical changes then that classroom looks just like the conference rooms that we do use for that.
