• In many schools, children bully others for things that are ridiculously sexist or intolerant. for example many boys at schools tease other boys for listening to the "wrong music" ie: female vocals and for watching "girl movies". It's ridiculous and completely biased. Children…
• While I do not agree with you on some of your arguments, I do agree that children do need to be taught not to always worry about what others may think of them. However what you are doing in one of your arguments, that is, comparing our generation to preceding generations is not…

• Still even if they ar young they still have buses that are still dangerous. If the driver dies and they have a lock on there phone and the bus radio stopped working the kids should be able to call 911. They don't have to have them in the school as a distraction.
• Should kids bring phones? I think they should. It would be helpful for emergencys. They could keep it in there lockers so they wouldn't be distracted. They can bring it on bus and talk with friends who are on a bus. It will help for socialization as long as they don't text they…

• To be fair i will not post any new information because my opponent forfeited the last round.
• You say this world is globalized. That is true what about Latin it has no use for having a communication. But we still use it without it. Its the science language. These languages should be preserved some people will want to use them. Do you really want a single one language.…

• People shouldn't have to be taught to read because reading is not a necessity to life. There are many jobs in wich you can have as an illiterate such as; food bagger, construction worker, police officer, etc.

• Thank you for accepting. It is my first debate so I'm pretty excited. I am 14 and I wanted to learn more about debate so this is a great opportunity. Anyway, lets begin. If there is a struggling student who is not able to catch up in concepts, self paced learning could help the…
• Hi, I have been fascinated with the way Khan Academy teaches. I have learned so cool new things like cos and sin which I would never have learned till at the very least next year. I want to debate someone who is against self pace learning .

• but if they go to school later then they will think that its ok to go to bed really late so they should go to school earlier so they cant stay up late that they have to go to bed early......
• Yes you might think that but if they have to go to school earlier they will go to bed earlier so they wont be tired

For

• There should be school uniforms for sports teams for the following reasons.A) If we didn't have uniforms for sports teams, people may find it difficult to identify people. Yes, a player in a sports team is likely to know most of the people in his team, but if one person on a…
• I accept, and will be arguing that there should be school uniforms for... This seems to be undefined. I will argue that there should be school uniforms for sports teams.

For

• Yes, the more that does not get done will lower their grade. This would mean that keeping students in the class at recess will give them more time to complete the unfinished work. Therefore, their work will not get piled up.
• What about the children that do not do their homework. If teachers give more then even more would not be done.

For

• Sweet.

• How can creative distract people?
• I agree that the blocks do just float and that's not what I am talking about. It teaches kids how to make things cool,creative, and "their own". Diamond_sparklez, you are correct, you can not lock chests in single player mostly because it's unecessary because their is nobody…

• When children have a privilege taken away for doing something that they were told not to do, especially repeatedly, they will think twice about doing it the next time.
• Children will stop doing the same misbehavior if given a significant consequence for their poor decisions.

For

• I thank con for his arguments. Cons main argument was that it's an unnecessary risk to have cellphones in school. I don't think it's a risk to have your cellphone in school because there are many ways to keep your cellphone safe. You could put in your locker, your backpack, or…
• Thank you for accepting. I believe that kids should be able to use there cellphones is school for many reasons. First off, I went to a school that let you use cellphones and it helped greatly. I could use it as a calculator, do research on the internet with it, and do my…

• I will address your rebuttals in chronological order: 1) You state they are laxatives by definition. No, gum is not a laxitive. They may have chemcials used in laxatives, but they are not laxadives. You didn't state that they should be used as laxatives, but you insinuated that…

• "As a subject on its own, a waste of time and effort."I would come to disagree. Logic and reasoning are very useful to society and the individual as it improves manner of thinking. History teaches us that social injustices and crimes against humanity are not the product of a…

• Greetings, This will be another refutation round. Brace yourself! 1. "In Pro's argument he admits that Wikipedia states, 'Wikipedia is not considered a credible source.'" Not exactly, for two reasons: A). Quotation is not the same as admission. I merely quoted from Wikipedia. I…
• I. Introduction "Even in the grave, all is not lost" [1] Some may wonder why I am still fighting a seemingly hopeless battle. Perhaps, in the minds of some, the debate is already over and I have been irreparably destroyed by Con's arguments. Maybe everyone reading this already…

For

• Games will allow the kids mind to think they are playing when they are learning from the games not to be distracted. Also the parents could help the kids better because the parents might not be able to help the kid because they dont know how to actually do it.
• This helps kid learn better then being able not to get help, their minds will think they are not learning but they are.

For

• I strongly believe that electronics should be allowed in schools, as I am in school myself.

For

• Con said, that letting students have a day off will not necessarily make them do their assignments, and in which case this is true as maybe the students do not have assignments, however once again this is of no importance as they could still rest and spend time with their…
• Con, You made a very good point and I apologies for my lack of proof, however you may want to check your own argument as you have not really put forth any clear points. Your argument completely lacks structure. Rebuttal: Con asked, what would children do when they do have time…

For

• As Pro, I will carry the burden of proof in this debate.Homework will be defined as "schoolwork assigned to be done outside the classroom".Less Free TimeHomework tends to take up a bit of time after school, especially if a project is assigned, or the assignment is lengthy.…

• 1) School uniforms cost a lot money https://www.gov.uk... 2) Also, most students despise school, so why would they want to have a memoir of being part of a school. Any ways, when they have finished school, they're not going to keep the uniform as there is no need of it any more…
• School uniforms are unnecessary because: 1) How does school uniform help school officials to recognize students faster? In any ways, it would make it harder because school uniforms look the same and it would be harder to differentiate one student from another. 2) Schools these…

For

• Extend.
• Thank you for accepting the challenge! 1. My opponent has argued that buying instruments is impractical because of the cost. I am going to use the following chart [please refer to source #1] as a reference for the average class size in the United States; which is about 20.…

• I wish to say that the tutor idea is just one solution, there is also online education avaible that costs farless compared to the tutor dea. This is where the student is assigned work from online schooling and the student has to complete it without any assitence of…
• I would like to question some of your arguments: As a single homeschooling mom, Mickey wrote to say that single parents who homeschool their kids face even greater time restraints: "We have to be very creative in our timing because I work and homeschool. Luckily, I work close…

For

• Those rules seem fair enough. While uniforms do give off a professional atmosphere for the children, I do not see how normal clothes can be distracting. Does that mean teachers should wear uniforms too? While I understand that we certainly don't want students coming to school…
• Uniforms waste money, there was only ONE shop which sold uniforms for my school. The ties, I kid you not, cost 10 pounds! That's robbery! Also, due to my First School's strict uniform, there was this kid who was a Sikh, for those who don't know, Sikhism is against having their…

• I believe that school starts too young. We need a stronger family. Thats where it all starts. In a broken family, sure, its better than nothing. but I learned to read and had basic math from my mom, who has a job of her own, but she invested her time into my brothers and I.…
• Sorry, our computer had a meltdown, so we put it in the refrigerator to cool down. But on the debate side of everything, preschool is too soon. I think that kids should learn the basics of social etiquette from their parents. I don't think that shoving 20 kids into a room with…

• I believe I have refuted my opponents arguments and shown why it is better to have noncompetitive sports days.
• "I'd just like to say that not every kid enjoys maths or science yet they spend a lot longer than one afternoon a year doing that! Also everyone has different levels of academic abilities. " Yes, but science and math are used to teach us about the world. Science and math are…

• I believe that on Halloween teachers should not be allowed to give their students homework because Halloween and trick-or-treating is a tradition. Teachers excuse children because of religious traditions and holidays so why not Halloween. I look forward to ur debate.

• By saying these are the best, you are saying that there is by far no other, more comfortable chair, or seat on this planet? Say that to my unbelievably comfortable reclining leather couch that I spend much of my time on.
• As a human being, the feeling of something breaking our skin, or 'cutting into' us is instinctively one of the worst and harshest pains we can experience. You must have something cutting into your brain if you believe that it is a good feeling.

For

• If you say children should not use technology, it means that they should not use technology totally. You can control what websites that your child can visit, and also can control apps that the child uses, so I don't think, they can visit false websites that contain false…
• Children should use technology like a computer, mobile phone, and television because they can use it for researching information, doing projects, using e-books instead of old and heavy textbooks, it also makes the world closer and smaller by talking in social media programs,…

For

• Thank you. I will not hesitate to say that had someone asked me about this particular issue a couple of years ago, then I would say that I agree with Con (on the resolution). It was and still is believed that chewing gum disturbs the concentration of the one who chews it.…
• Thank you. Unfortunately, my opponent did not refute my arguments, neither did he present arguments that are defending his position properly. The resolution is: Chewing gum should be allowed in school. My opponent is Con on the issue, but his arguments do not defend his stance…

• Yesterday i went to a 3rd grade class to help out and there were on division already and think that is way too young for kids to be learning division.I think that in the 4/5th grade they should be learning that i remember in 3rd grade we were just learning multiplication. I…

For

• I think all parents share the concerns outlined here. But I am not calling for a shortening of the school year. The 180 days required by law would of course be preserved but the time between those active days of learning would be condensed. Let's look closely at the first two…
• Many might think that having a longer summer for kids sets them back in their reading and math skills. There is plenty of proof from studies across class, geographic and age lines that kids slip during the summer if they don't keep their reading and math skills up. I contend…

For

• Though the study-bot uses technology in a successful way to capture the attention of children, this is not the only app that is available on any of these devices. Children will be more likely to play a game rather than use the study bot. If the time on their devices is not…
• Though it is true that the study-purpose robot poses a good aspect of technology, there are a few down sides to this product. If this is only available on certain tablets, or on certain devices, then some children will not be able to have the same learning experience. This also…

• You are correct in saying that I want Latin available as an option, not as something mandatory. In Round 2, I agreed with parts of your points because you illustrated that Latin might not be helpful/useful for everyone. Nevertheless, I showed that it is still helpful for some…
• In my particular case, my high school's graduation requirements involved learning a foreign language with 3 consecutive years of courses. The 4th year was not mandatory. It is true that Latin is no longer a very practical language, in the sense that it is not spoken unless one…

• The thing that is wrong with your argument is that bullying doesn't make people stronger. Have you been bullied? https://www. Googleadservices. Com/pagead/aclk? Sa=L&ai=DChcSEwiGq6r-pcrdAhUJ2WQKHaXzB2oYABAAGgJwag&ohost=www. Google.…

• I extend my points, and await Con's response.

• I will break my argument into 4 main arguments 1) Holidays/Family. Winter break encompasses 3 of the most beloved holiday's and celebrations among Americans. Christmas, New Years Eve, and Hanukkah. All three of these holidays are the largest holiday's where families travel to…
• I believe that it is a good thing that schools close for a few weeks at the end of December and start of January for both students and the schools. Con must offer evidence suggesting otherwise. Con may use opening round for arguments or for an introduction

For

• I would like to start by saying nice job to con. Your arguments are good and you are a strong debater. I will start by refuting then I will begin my rebuttal. You said some very interesting things in your second round. You said summer is a necessity. That is like saying ice…
• I would like to disagree with you when you said that other countries have summer like we do. Yes some do but they are much shorter than ours is. And may I remind you that we were wealthy back then because school was longer and there was more of a focus on it because kids…

For

• To answer your question, yes I am taking this seriously. Apparently you aren't, though because all you are doing is insulting me just because you have no valid arguments. In fact, that's exactly why I didn't address your arguments, because none or them were even valid! To…
• Many of the lunches if not all of the lunches at schools are very unhealthy. Almost all of the food is pre-made and then heated up when the student goes to order it. For instance, something like pizza which isn't too unhealthy is much u healthier at schools. The pizzas at…

For

• Oh. Anyway, it is better for the well being of the students and faculty to have multiple fire drills. As we probably all know, people forget things (unless you forgot you can forget). Students -shuffling about their busy lives- have all the more reason to forget things and one…
• Because you have not specified what a fire drill is, I will assume you mean when the teachers light the school on fire, drill holes in the walls and tell the kids to get out of it. This would mean that the school most likely would be ruined and that cost money so that means…

For

• Technology, if used correctly, is completely safe and it is easier to keep then a ton of textbooks. Also you can buy a carrying case and a normal case for protection. While the student does have some pressure, they have much less than having to lug around 3-4 large and…
• While that is true technology is more eco-friendly and it brings people together. Especially if these people live in different cities, states, or even countries. Also texting is causing the decrease in literacy not the use of computers.

For

• Thank you for excusing that round. Seeing as there is only one round left, it would be best to start the debate again. I will create a new debate with the same title and add you to it. Thanks.
• Homework wastes the time of students, and does not achieve anything apart from stressing them out and making them write about things they have done in school, therefore it should be abolished. If they are required to do all this, what exactly do they do in school? Many say that…

• It was fun! As for whether or not she plagiarized in round one, I invite the voters to click on the link I provided and decide for themselves. Again, the resolution is "extra recess should be banned". I am Pro. This means I agree with the premise of banning extra recess. So,…
• The resolution is "extra recess should be banned". I am Pro. My opponent is Con. With this in mind, my opponent has just conceded the debate this round when she said, "extra recess should be banned. .. ". I accept her concession.
