Education Debate Topics for Kids — page 7

• The Topic here is if Physical Education in school is necessary, which I believe it should. Physical Education (P. E) is a class from Kindergarten to Twelve Grade that is graded just like more Primary Classes such as Science or Mathematics. I believe it should be necessary in…
• I'm sorry I missed the deadline for my rebuttal. I think that P.E is needed in school's across the country. Countless physical therapist's agree that children need daily exercise to stay healthy. Since most children don't apply themselves to work out at home. School is an…

• If anti-bullying was taught at schools it would increase: -awareness -good behavior -knowledge about what you should do It would decrease: -victims -bullies -number of people committing suicide
• Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among all aged human beings. Bullying is repetitive bad behavior resulting with depression, lower marks, loss of friends or even suicide. People bully because they feel the need or loss of power, so to regain that feeling, they need to…

• Plus, a shorter school year could put a burden on families where both parents work. "These days three months is hard on parents, what to do with your kids, keeping them safe. To make that longer would be hard on the families," she said. http://www.eastvalleytribune.com...

• "schools should be schools and not fashion shows!" there I agree with you, my friend, that clothes help to express but somewhere down there students become intimated by the fact of dressing up well for the school. rather uniforms help students to concentrate more on studies…
• I feel that school uniforms should be mandatory as they eradicate the thin line, especially in girls, of being rich and not so rich. I feel that a person is rich when she or he has a beautiful heart with a resplendent mind rather than having 100 different types of boots. it…

For

• My first contention is that kids are more focused on getting good grades then actually learning. If a teacher gives criteria for a certain assignment, many kids will simply do exactly what is required to get what they consider "good grades". By doing this, they aren't really…
• I affirm "Grading systems in middle school should be abolished. "

• Don't worry, this is only my third debate. The reasons why musical instruments are a way to help with learning: A. It can help with school subject learning, such as math. B. You can write songs to help you memorize stuff (lesson, method, ect.) C. It brings you more challenges.…
• This is the acceptance round. I welcome the opponent to this debate. Any rules the opponent will chose. Good luck to everyone.

For

• The first thing is: both my first- and second-round arguments are not one paragraph, but multiples. Therefore, you cannot say it is a 'super-paragraph', because it is not even one paragraph, as I have just stated. However, if you still desire to call it 'super', you can call…
• O.K. First of all, I am not a "she"; I am a "he." I have no idea of how you had gotten the idea that I am a female, but let me assure you that I am not. Secondly, I think you misunderstand my argument. I am not a traditionalist, but I am a traditionalist. In other words, I am…

• to shay my friend, to shay as i understand that yes, children could possibly be using them in class for non-educational purposes, i am not stating that they need a cellphone, or should completely throw away textbooks, i am simply stating that they should be ALLOWED, not that…
• I believe that students SHOULD have a cell phone for educational purposes. People say that students are irresponsible with their cell phones. HELLOOOO! Did anybody realise that phones have educational apps? Phones at school…..it has a nice ring to it! On phones you can download…

For

• First its important to understand that year long school could mean several different types of schedules. It could be 3 weeks on and 1 week off throughout the year with a few longer duration breaks during the holidays, spring, and summer. Also you said something that needed to…
• Year long school is beneficial to students because they will remember more.

• I believe that education is the key to our country and all others future. Con will say why it isn't. My points will be our children will be our counties entire future and I will go off of that bringing into example other countries and past education rankings.

• There's seriously no proof that that school even exists. What type of school has 500 students in one class!!! No wonder why half of them are failing. How can one teacher teach 500 kids at once. Don't blame it on the uniform, it has nothing to do about it. If your new school had…
• School that have uniforms have more intelligent and efficient students, because they have uniforms. When schools have uniforms kids focus more on they're studies not on they're clothes or how they look. If everyone wore the same clothes no one can say theirs is better and no…

• I'm sorry I cannot type much more since I have things to do. Final Focus: Most of my arguments still stand. I will just answer my rebuttal and state mine Rebuttal: Well I have proof that games do help since games and videos have helped me learn concepts This is the age of…
• Argument 1: Videos help students with work Summary: Many people have posted videos on youtube and other sites like khan academy to help students learn what was not discussed in class. For example, khan academy personally has helped me out because of the clear explanation by the…

• I thought you already conceded. Oh well, either way, I shall continue.REBUTTALS "Actually you just bragged and how would that ban their freedom outside of school you have alot of freedom you don't have to line up to go back in at home you can do anything you want outside like…
• That was not an opening statement thus the 7 point forfeiture. I thank you for the concession. Just for the points: Recess is important because it helps children relieve themselves, and thus improves school work and overall well being. Banning recess would ban children from a…

For

• Most children hate school anyway so they should go to school less.. And I know what you are going to say.. "What about their education?!" Well their parents can just teach them...
• Children should go to school less because they will get tired so when they get home they might get sick or be VERY tired.

• Sport helps to forge character.
• The quest for national sporting achievement begins in schools.

• Hello there, please forgive any grammer issues as this is my first online debate. I do think homework is good. The reason I think this way is because it is intended as a means to keep the learning of a subject fresh in the students mind for as long as possible. It also gives…
• Homework is not intended to last you several hours. They base home studies on your evaluated intellectual level. If it is taking them all night to finish a piece of work then either they have left everything until the last minute (exactly what I used to do as a kid) or they are…

• Theater is easier to learn - Any person who has a 3rd grade education will agree that understanding how to spell "theater" is easier than "theatre" It is easy to spell words if they follow a pattern. Cheater is not spelled "cheatre" and heater is not spelled "heatre" so what…

• These statistics were from polls given to high school students. The students are suppling the results. Furthermore, we can not rely on the chance that the polls might be up to 60% because nobody can predict the future and this number could go down. As I have said over and over…

• Do you really think that art will never be used? Because I think that art is one way to show your emotion. And you don't have to show your painting or art work you can let the art speak for you. Also, everybody has a different type of art and its the teachers job to show the…
• I think that art should be taken more seriously since its one of the few way to express our feeling in our own way! I also think that art can be a friend that you can talk to. If your sad you can paint with the color blue if your happy you can paint with the color red etc.

For

• I respectfully disagree with you because if you do homework it can help you in tests and help you get an education. Also from an education you can get a job and a job can get you money to pay rent.
• I believe that people should give homework out because you can get an education from learning from homework, you use it in life, and most of all you can responsibly and with responsibility you can get a job.

• You talked about universities and colleges wanting the students with the best grades rather then the ones with the worst but what sense would it make to have for example a 90% average on Calculus when taking an art or writing class? At the end of the day good grades are made by…
• School should be more focused on teaching students concepts that will actually help them after they move on into the working path of life, but know it seems that the only thing that matters is getting that 50% and over, if you where to go to any student and ask them what they…

For

• 1.Your first argument is a transfer fallacy of composition. In other words, it relies on the assumption that what is true of the part (a student with 4 uniforms) is also true of the whole (students with more or less uniforms). By saying that a student "essentially could not…
• I am proposing an argument based on the necessity for school uniforms. The debate over whether or not school uniforms should be mandatory has been a long standing issue for school administrators, students, and parents alike. The pros and cons for each side have resulted in a…

• First of all, i am sorry but i couldn't understand what you were saying! secondly I have alot of homework but still i manage to have 2 hours to spare! so what my point is we need to manage the time and everything will be fine!
• Well you just have to balance it out. if you have a homework due in for like a week later than you dont have to do it all at once! Just do half of it and then do the rest later. Poeple need to know how to manage their time because then everything will get stressful. You said…

• It would not cost hundreds of dollars, and if the school already gives out laptops to the kids, all they need is the program, and you get a big discount if you are buying for a school. The parents probably would not mind if it is for 10 minutes, and the teachers could send the…
• If the school gives out laptops, to be used for school (I know many that do), minecraft could be installed easily. You are right, they will not learn history in a historical context. But they will experience it. If the teacher guides them through it and shows them what would…

• It seems my opponent has misinterpreted what my observation in Round 1 does. Although I was admittedly not clear in the first round and tried to make it clearer in Round 2, I will attempt to clear this up. The observation states that the debate needs to take place in the…
• Before I begin my defense, I must ask that you see that my opponent has conceded this debate. As I stated in my first round argument, because of the fact that the acquiring OR imparting of knowledge is education, I only need to prove one. Education is not a two-part system in…

• I was speaking of this on more of an educational standard. The foundation of the your language is taught mostly from your parents. If the teacher had to teach you to learn English, how would you learn other subjects? Teachers definetly improve your speaking in your language,…
• I will start off with stating the obvious. Math is essential to any REAL job in the world. I understand basic grammar such as: "I is gooder then you is" to "I am better than you are." If you want to be successful in life and have a family, you must have a decent job to support…

• Language defines a culture, through the people who speak it and what it allows speakers to say. Words that describe a particular cultural practice or idea may not translate precisely into another language. Many endangered languages have rich oral cultures with stories, songs,…
• When I stated that languages can be saved in museums, I did not mean writing it on a wall and displaying it as my opponent makes it seem. I meant that the languages could be preserved in writings and such like Latin, a "dead" language but still lives on in some ways and that…

• Excerise, as explaned, has many, many benefits, including the above mentioned. Since experts say exercise should be 30+ minutes, they obviously have evidence to back that up, so it won't cause annoyance! Even if it does cause minor problems, + outweights -.
• However, excerise, of course, is very helpful to the body. Even though exercise may be unfit to some, a bit everyday will not harm at all! It will improve performances later in the day, cut fat, calories, improve sleeping, etc. Exercise doesn't have to be stressful

• Thank you for accepting my challenge. I agree some of your points but I think that exams are better than homework. A test once a week is enough to see that students have or have not revised yet. I also think that a little bit of pressure is OK, but as I see, pressure because of…

• Well nobody has to go to a private school. There are public schools all over the country that offer a free, quality education
