The rules are simple:

- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

Why are the students sitting on the ground?
It doesn’t hurt elementary school aged children and having them move their chairs back and forth requires potentially chaotic transitions (kids get distracted, they hurt each other or themselves with the chairs, and there’s a bunch of noise that can distract other classrooms). The desks add a level of separation and distance that makes it hard to do some activities, like reading a story to the kids, and young kids really benefit from a transition between activities (we all do, but it’s more important the younger your learning group), which moving to a different part of the classroom creates.
Where I’m from, it’s also common to have kids circle up and do light calisthenics or stretching throughout the day to even out their energy levels, so this could be a stage immediately beforehand or afterwards.
Size-wise they look like high schoolers, but the classroom looks like it’s for young primary school students.
Lots of school desks have attached chairs so if you want to sit in a different configuration than a grid this is the easiest way
