Where You Sit at the Table and What It Means

1.The end of the table, across from the teacher- you’re either the second to best participator who wants to be right in the field of vision of your teacher so your teacher can remember you, or you’re the kid who rarely talks- not entirely silent, but makes 1-2 points that were written in your book before class. 

2.Right next to the teacher - the same thing as above. Maybe sitting next to the teacher helps you get a good grade? Can also snoop on what the teacher is writing on their class notes for the day and therefore has all the tea.

3.Directly left or right of the center of the Harkness table - the standard Exonian seat- you’re not trying too hard to get noticed by the teacher, but you’re a decent participator. Consistently gets B+’s in English. 

4.Around the curve, but not the top of the curve - a forgettable student. Probably uses the bathroom often, or is always the one to open the door for late students, or writes things on the board when the teacher needs a scribe in order to get participation points. For some reason, the Harkness warrior or best student also sits here.
