I am excited about the PSP project, but I am also worried that we will spend too much time trying to decide which problem we want to focus on.
It is important that we chose a problem that we all agree is worth solving, but I think we need to realistically look at our time and chart out how much time we have to identify and solve the problem we want to address.
I figured I would take this space to brainstorm how next class could look. We could take 5 minutes to each chose one problem that we would like to address as a class. Each member of the class could take 30 seconds to explain why they chose that one problem. Once we have listened to everyone we can do a scratch keep round with each person having one keep. After the scratch keep round we could have a vote. The two or three problems to receive the most votes could be briefly spoken on by each person. Then we could have a final vote. The problem receiving the most votes would be the problem we work to address.
I’m obviously flexible as to how next class goes down, and am stoked about working to solve a communal problem.

I like that idea, and it is important to really think about what we can accomplish. We probably won’t be able to solve the world hunger problem or do much to help our country become oil free. But, we may be able to start recycling projects at our schools, if they don’t have them. But I like your idea of giving everyone a voice in the problem they would like to work on.
