How would you solve the overcrowded elementary school problem?

“I don’t really like the idea of moving the students to the high school,” Alyssa Becher ninth grade English and dramatics teacher said.
"I see both sides to the idea. I have empathy for the overcrowded elementary schools, and I realize that something needed to be done. I think that the idea needs to be thought through carefully and at a pace that enough time is given to planning. This way, if the change does occur, it won't be rushed." Said Kathy Morgan, ninth grade English teacher.

Preferred performer! Even though many are excited for Usher to sing at the halftime show, some may be upset and wish that someone else is performing. Some would rather have had people like Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus or Kendrick Lamar. Eighth grader Livi Adams said, “ I would be so much more excited if like Olivia Rodrigo or Tyler, the Creator, were singing at the super bowl.”

    I don’t think moving students to the high school would solve any problems. The building is not big enough for all of those kids to be in there at once. This idea to move students will only make things worse.

    I don’t believe this would solve any problems. I think if they moved the Freshman it would just cause more problems.

    I don’t support moving the ninth graders over to the high school and bringing sixth graders to the junior high. Although, I do like the idea of re-opening the recently closed elementary schools that had moved their students over to other schools. This was an unfair movement of people that I didn’t support. So, now I wish for them to re-open.

      I don’t want the 6th graders into the junior high and 9th grade out. The 7th graders are too immature to be in junior high let alone 6th grade.
