Titman describes seats as “a place, a nook or cranny, a micro-environment of sorts.” Having exposed seats makes students vulnerable and they prefer to have seats they can “sit” on. Titman used exposed benches as an example of how children do not like the placement of benches. Additionally, the benches do not give students the feeling that they can “sit with friends to play a game or chat or in a private, sheltered place to sit and do nothing.” “This meant the land provided a ‘place for them and people like them’ by recognizing and meeting some of their needs.” By giving children a place to sit outside so they can interact with their peers, they feel more relaxed. Students need an outlet throughout the school day where they can release some of the pent-up energy and having play time is a great reliever. Usually playtime takes place outside so children can get some fresh air and sunshine, but sometimes the weather may prevent students from going outside. Imposing shelter inside the school for these situations is necessary, because the school “meets the needs of the student ».
