Today I finally got to work with the rest of the group and we all got to synthesize our findings. 

The similarities were found in four major themes. The first being ineffective communication, second was stress, third was outdated facilities, and fourth was unwelcoming environment. 

We found that the biggest problem there was with our findings was that students are stressed and also feel like the communication methods being used by the school are just... ineffective. 

As a group we found that SAS uses rouphly 20+ mediums to present information that alot of students don't really look at. When asked "how do you know when there is an assembly or an event at SAS?" students unanimously said "I will sometimes check the e-bulletin" or "I don't really know, I guess I jsut follow the crowd" which made us think that all the mediums of information sharing are inefective to the main population of the school. 

We as a team are still brainstorming, sorting and implimenting different ways to think through our notes, and are looking forward to defining the problem, and creating a solution. 

Because Bryce was not present, we also look forward to seeing what he has to share with us. 

These photos show a small glips of our brainstorming patterns. 

These are some of the feild notes I have collected so far I still have two more interviews, and one more sit-in class room immersion. 

I am finding that students, teachers, and the counillors all believe there is a problem with the pressure that is out on students at the school and the most prevelant problem I see with the tudents is that they ALL feel like they need to complete some sort of resume and be the best because they are told by the school that they are te best and this makes it so that they need to perform at the "best" level 

The effect of this is that the students end up feeling super stressed because they feel  like they need to sign up for abunch of AP and extra curricular activities and end up overloading themselves with things they have to do. 

I look forward to collaborating with the other students in my group and synthesising my notes with theirs to find a true problem. This idea is totally different than the one I initially had in my mind, and I feel after interviewing that there are more problems than what I can find ust on my own. A problem to me will more than likely be different than a problem of the genereal SAS student body.
