I saw on Teacher Twitter the other day a debate about the benefits of Rows (which I have used for years) compared to Groups. I was wondering what this community goes with?

Hi Drew, I'm in favor of groups. In the past, when I had my own room, I set it up so I could switch between rows and groups quickly. Though, in recent years, I've switch to all groups. I've heard from other teachers at my school that groups of 3 are the best as this arrangement doesn't really allow for students to hide.

I do something similar where my rows can work as groups. When I had pods of tables, I would find a student whose back was to the board or the front of class and they had to twist around to see, which sometimes they didn't and I was staring at the back of a head. So I went with the rows/groups hybrid model.
