• Con may have misunderstood that I was suggesting that you could pass a class without learning the material. Con presents the hypothetical scenario that a student could no all of the appropriate material and then fail the test due to overstudying and stressing themselves out…
• Failing a test is always unfortunate, and I'm sorry to hear that your friend failed by just three points. In most situations, there is supposed to be an established retesting opportunity, which is intended to prevent students from having to repeat an entire semester/year of…

• Con point 1) An IQ test does not analyze an child's rate of learning, mental capacity, or emotional maturity Rebuttal: I have two key issues. you have deviated from the absolute purpose of the debate as this is bringing into question the validity of the IQ test. I am not here…

• I take all of my round 2 arguments and pull them down to round 3. Con has given no response nor has he contended at all what so ever to what I have stated in this entire debate.Vote Pro! Vale. Verus ut Christe.
• Well it would seem you have forfeited the round for an unknown reason. I will present my arguments. Because you are con and your title states "Against School Uniforms" that would mean you are against, not having school uniforms. Meaning you are for school uniforms. I am not…

• "If something is "just" then it's not stealing." Are you telling me stealing in order to survive is not just? Who among us would not take a loaf of bread if it were our only option? Review the case of the fictional character, Robin Hood. "Take from the rich, give to the needy."…

• None of that has to to with the debate topic. Unless you're saying that standardized tests are useless because absolute knowledge is unobtainable. That's kinda silly though. The goal of education and science are to create models of what seems to be reality, not to understand…
• Let it be noted that Con has avoided all my points in round 1 and has also dropped his opening argument from round 1. Concerning his new argument...---Point 1: There are no facts.Rebuttal 1: This is demonstratably false. There are facts. The effects of gravitation are factual;…

• Please take this seriously.
• I believe that all main (non-elective) subjects in school are important. My arguments for each are: Math: We need to learn how to do mathematics in everyday life and for projects only done occasionally Science: All humans need to know how the world around them works. I recently…

• My contentions: 1. Paddling is unpleasant and kids will finally abort foolish behaviors to avoid the punishment. 2. This punishment is NOT MORALLY ACCEPTABLE, however if the child was a literal animal, this method WOULD BE EFFECTIVE. 3. Therefore, it is up to the voters to…
• As acknowledged by my opponent, paddling is not widely morally accepted and may put more stress on already-pressured students. However, the question remains, *should* it be used to decrease misbehavior? As it stands, operant conditioning with a paddle WILL likely do the trick,…
