Yeah, I probably should've posted this when it was still relevant... Our problem ended up being a people-problem with people's troubles assimilating into high school at the start of freshman year, which I don't personally think is one, but the supermajority of survey answers from our class overran my veto attempt. Anyways, the post:
We're having problems thinking up problems in the school. We're also having problems agreeing on what kind of problem to use. Nate doesn't want to do anything about being more environmentally friendly, I don't particularly want to do something dealing with fixing people's personal problems (teen pregnancy, ditching classes, etc.), Jasmine thinks fixing budget inefficiencies would be boring, and Andy just wants us to pick a problem, any problem, so we can get started solving it.
