Day 3

1. State the Problem: There are too many students in the school.

2. Give evidence:

• Most teachers fill up every desk in their classroom, and sometimes have to get more.
• It is hard to get through the hallways because it's so crowded. It takes forever to get out of the circles.
• The lunchroom is packed. It's hard to find a place to sit.
• Some kids often get to class late because the halls are so crowded.

3. Examine contributing factors:

• Not enough schools in the district.
• Larger than usual grade entering the school. (lots of freshmen and sophomores)

4. Propose a solution: You could build a new high school, you could redraw the district boundaries, you could add additions on to the school or you could make high school only 3 grades instead of 4. (freshmen stay in the middle school)
