Sometimes, I would like to sit in the back row seats since I didn't want the teacher or someone payed more attention to me. lol However, it might lead to just the opposite. Earlier today, I went to the last row and sit there in a class. I didn't expect that the teacher walked towards me and asked " how are you doing right over here?" "I am doing fine", I answered. "But you are still not good, why do you prefer this seat", he asked. "I don't really know!" I said. Everyone else laughed... ... Oh my! I'd no idea what I was talking about? Do you just sit randomly or do you prefer some position?

I always prefer to sit in the front rows, as I can listen clearer or pay more attention in the class or meeting. Sometimes, sitting at the back will be distracted by other people easily.

In a good class, the front seats surd deserve our attentions. On the other hand, in a boring class, I would rather hide in some corner so that I could sleep and killed the time Have a great day.

Depending on where I am, usually I prefer to sit toward the front like about 3-4 rows back. At work we only have 2 rows of desks to answer phones, so I usually will sit in front. But where I sit, is also on the opposite site of where my main Boss sits so usually I feel like that is a Good spot to be as well.

If there were a opportunity for me to choose my seats in any meeting?class or forgather,i would like to sit in the back row seats or black corner seats.It's my pudency and don't want somebody to pay more attention to me,just keeping silent.Sometimes i try to improve this habit and attract persons' attention,but i find that i can't do it.The essential reason is my inferiority complex.Although that,i believe that i will get out of the bad habit one day and get a bright seat without any abnormal feel.

You will. Never ever be shy again. You know you don't have to do that. Maybe you are very brilliant, you just don't pay yourself enough credit.

I like to sit beside the wall and in the back row. In my student years, I never sat in the first row voluntary, but because I am not high, my teacher always asked me to sit in the first row, it made me uncomfortable.

Yeah, once upon a time, I sat in the front row. After a little while, I changed my mind and walked to the back row. At the time, the teacher asked me that " Why not sit here?" So, I went back again!

I like to sit in the back row. I hate to sit upfront and be right on top of things.

Hello! I don't mind to sit anywhere in a meeting.Where ever a sit will be available I will sit there.It depends on my arrival in the meeting place.However in my school and college days I was sitting in fourth row as the first row was left for the lady students and the second and third rows we left for the small stature students.But in the cinema hall I pickup ticket in the last row.When travelling in a bus I prefer a seat at the middle as it is the safest place.thanx.

hahah, I think there is an interesting rule in your school. In the cinema, I prefer the seats in the middle! In a bus, I prefer the seat near the door, it is so easy to get of anyway. You might be a Chinese. It seems that koreans always bear "lady first in mind". However, the boys and the girls are in seperate high schools. In college, on the other hand, it is totally overstated!

I got in the habit of sitting near the front when I was a nearsighted child and have continued to do so. Now it is because of diminished hearing and the fact that I'm so short that I can't see when a person of normal size sits in front of me.

In my freshman year, I also sat neal the front especially in a math class. As u know, there were lots of students in a class. Thus, I sat there so as to hear the professor clearly. In order to get the hot seats near the front, we had to get up before day and skipped the breakfast. I missed those days though it seemed sort of hard.

Hi hiddenwing! I learned that along time ago! If you think that you will get away with being picked on by sitting in the back row think again! Sometimes as you found out it will bring more attention to yourself! Don't you think that teachers know about that trick? They know that people sit there so that they can hide and not get called on so they purposely walk back there and fool you! I tend to sit up front these days. I feel that it is better for me to pay attention. If I don't I will tend to "daydream" of talk to someone or just not pay the attention that I should like I did when I was in school years ago. I was in group therapy and I had alot of lectures so I learned to sit up front quickly! The counselors picked on you no matter where you sat so it really didn't matter!

You are totally right. The teacher just went towards me and talked a lot about the lesson with me. Oh my, I coundn't imagine how I survived this. I think your counselors are very nice. Have a great day.

Well I am a really shy person to talk in front of people. So in choosing the seating in class or a meeting I am very careful I chose a seat where the teacher pays the least attention thats usually at the back row or may be somewhere near the corners. There were so many situations in my school days where i had answered something that wither funny or stupid and people have laughed over it. I feel so bad over it and i just dont feel good about it. I am like this since the beginning. When ever i am in a crowd i want people to pay the least possible attention on me.

Oh, I didn't expect you were so shy. Personally, I hope you don't... Anyway, if you are willing to take the chance, the view on the other side is spectacular

I have a bad habit of sitting on my own, if there's a desk where no one sitting near or next to then I will choose it, I never openly sit with someone, I much prefer to isolate myself, because that's the way I am, I don't mix, and I am a loner and if it's at the front, back, middle wherever providing there is an empty desk away from anyone there is where I sit. I like to be inconspicuous and away from everyone.

I have a poor eyesight so I am always sitting anywhere from middle row to front row. I really have no preferences on where I should sit since my seat is all ready reserved before I come. However, when I was still schooling, my favorite sit is at the middle column, middle row. Not only do I see the words on the board clearly but also I have a perfect view of the entire board.
