2. Bentonville High School

2.1. Parents are pulling their children out of Bentonville High School because the crowding is out of control. The students can't focus or get one on one time with the teacher.

3. Why does this need to be solved?

3.1. Students wouldn't be able to get out of the building fast enough if there was a fire or natural disaster. They also can't focus on work with so many people in the classroom so they're grades may drop. It's almost impossible to get one-on-one time with the teacher.

4. What do we do about it?

5. Has this worked for someone else?

5.1. Some Chicago school have started busing students to near by schools to help the crowding. Students are much happier and have a better chance of learning and getting better grades
