Education Debate Topics for Students — page 23

• In most schooling systems, A foreign language is required before graduation. I do not agree with this because most will not use this wasteful course in the future. Those who believe it would be beneficial to your future could take the course though.

For

• It all comes down to simply this. Education can still be taught equally without all the newest technology just as it was before the technology existed. For instance, how would a student from a "third world country" know three languages when an American student with all the…
• All very good points but, if the above stated developing countries used the money from the non necessities, they would be more likely to come up closer to an international standard of education. We can expect schools from under developed states to compete with average schools…

• Well I am going to make sure that these changes are made one school at a time
• I want to see a change in the school system where teachers would care about students learning styles and physical abilities and not forcing students to be what they want them to be and there for change is needed in all schools there is no reason for teachers to be forcing there…

• Good afternoon,Ladies and gentlemen,I do not find this debate 'unfair' as the opposition stated. Con agreed to this debate but seems to not want to actually debate. I find the purpose of a debate such as this one itself, is to persuade readers to agree with either pro or con.…
• Girls and Boys Should Attend Different SchoolsGood Afternoon, Ladies and gentlemen, I define this topic as schools to be mainly high schools, because this is the situation now. This topic is not about the past, but the present. When I say schools, I mean we are not…

• Unfortunately I don't have time to refute your refutations this round, so I'll just extent my arguements from round 2 and we can dicuss more once you get your more dtailed refutation up.
• Thank you for accepting. For this debate I will be using two main arguments. I will start with explaining why the Public School is bad and then showing how homeschool is better. I will first make the case that public schools are an unsafe environment for children. Guns: I don't…

• So you think that we should not be able to homeschool is right? well, I am going to show u that u have the wrong thought. Our economy, the world and many things(such as our dollar have almost been destroyed. Why is that because we have not had good smart people in the…

• I shall refute her argument: 'the law shouldn't jump to say that it is mandatory to go to College, but it should be mandatory to finish high school, since you can drop out at 16 legally. ' >Making college mandatory implies that high school and any other education preceding it…
• To start, my opponent's argument is trying to change the topic completely. She is trying to worm her way out by addressing a completely different issue altogether. She says 'before we argue that college should be must be mandatory we need to enforce completing high school' This…

• Actually I never mentioned the fact that kids should decide what path to choose at an early age. What is necessary to do when kids are too little to decide is to offer tests (that would not cause emotional stress, of course, better in the form of a friendly talk with a kid and…
• Of course, the point about the financial side of the question that you made, may baffle anyone starting from a common person and ending with the government. However, it is always a matter of prioritizing. Isn't it true that the sphere of education worth adequate and even…

For

• Ok to begin, your topic is that the drop out age is too young then you contradict your own opinion by saying that it is better to drop out then to stay in school and get bad grades. My question to you is what age if not 16 do you believe that children should be able to drop…

• I would like this debate to be a fast one. By this, I mean I'd prefer it if my opponent stayed online to complete the debate. Gallaudet University - http://en.wikipedia.org... Beneficial - 1 : conferring benefits : conducive to personal or social well-being [1] Deaf - lacking…
• A) Gallaudet University isolates the deaf and prohibits them from finding definitive methods to cope with a hearing world. I will elaborate on my first point. Isolating hearing impaired people does not benefit them in any way shape or form. However, educators believe it does,…

• Unfortunately, my opponent has forfeited this round and I cannot defend my case from his rebuttals, since he made none. I will however be telling the voters why I have won: My "deterrence of crime" argument outweighs my opponent's "cost" argument (which I refuted) I have…
• Introduction and Important Procedural MattersThanks for a good constructive speech, I had a lot of fun reading it. I'd first like to say, before any major rebuttals on my opponent's case, this is my burden of proof (I thought it would be obvious but I have to explain what it…

For

• Only parents know their children well, it is up to the family to bring up moral education, it is the task of the family to teach some life standarts for children because moral values can be given in the family from generation to generation
• In my opinion, it is a responsibility of parent to bring up a child morally, as they bring up a child from the birth and only they can educate him or her morally as we know children should be brought up till three years old and they gave their own character.

• As I said that they shouldn't be graded for it, then it would be added as an extra class, so they probably wont be forced to study it. But just by giving them a chance to understand whatsoever politics are there around the world is very educating, especially that there are…
• High school students tend to be more interested in politics than they seem. They are mature enough to be taught about it in schools, just as they teach them history, they are supposed to be adding modern day politics (which is much more interesting than history politics) even…

For

• I am going to discount CON's content in the final round for two reasons:1. CON brings up new arguments on why native speakers of a language cannot act as suitable teachers for ESL students, despite my statement in the third round which calls for no new arguments in the final…
• Rebuttals:CON states that native speakers cannot fully empathize with the difficulty their students face. This can be rebuffed in two ways. Firstly, the motion states the contention to be whether 'we' should learn WITH native/non native speakers, not learn FROM. Hence, CON's…

For

• Yes all students should go to college because everyone deserves to have a great education which will lead to many positive choices in life. A student will have a variety of good opportunities to choose from, instead of having to take a job just to have a paycheck.

• Thanks for accepting, and I see your point. Sorry, I'm a bit new at this form of debate and neglected to provide a contention for solvency. The main problem I see with the system in the status-quo is that it is too vague as to what "service learning" is and what it is meant to…
• In many high schools across America there is a service learning requirement for all students. This is often a condition for graduation and is meant to teach and encourage youth participation throughout the community. I understand the concept behind it, but I feel as if it has…

• Okay let's get what I am trying to say straight. School dress codes aren't enforced equally. I am not talking about the policy in general. If a school has the policy it should be enforced or not be there at all. My reasoning behind this is that if a girl is told to change and…
