Maintaining good posture during the long period of classes is difficult. Little by little the body slips on the desk, the legs get tired and the back and neck ache.
Because you have to keep your head down for a long period, the muscles in your neck tighten causing a feeling of discomfort that bothers the student and, consequently, harms his apprenticeship.
However, some young people sit down anyway, getting used to their bad posture without realizing it. Shoulders slumped to one side, head bowed forward, and the famous hump are examples of this.
Poor posture can cause serious back problems and chronic diseases, such as lordosis, scoliosis, parrot beaks, among others.
It is important for the student to take care of his posture, as intellectual learning takes place with all the involvement of the body, it is necessary that it is properly disposed. In this way, the student's concentration level increases, which facilitates greater understanding of the contents covered by the teacher.
