It makes sense that sitting near the front of the class will make people pay more attention; after all, they are right up there with the teacher. I don't really like the idea of being placed in the back being psychologically discouraging mainly because I don't think people are that weak mentally. If being told to stand near the back of a line is going to scar you for life, did you really have a chance anyway?
However, I do think it likely that when you start to zone out during class you are probably going to recover pretty quickly with the teacher 5 feet away from you.
