• my school for example , lets you obviously do p.e . but you can join sports outside of school. to try out and be on the team with "good" grades. i agree with you in the sense that students in just physical eduction dont neccisarily keep their grades up. but what im trying to…
• i understand the point of view youre coming from, but , in most or all schools you have to have nothing lower than a C in all your classes in order to remain in the sport. the way i see it is it pushes the student to have better grades and keep them up for them to be able to…

• People should have work/school off because it is a day where we can celebrate, by doing parades, having cookouts, and many other things. Your argument is that we should celebrate them every day, although I agree, I do not believe that we should have parades, cookouts, and other…

• Too bad. Reasons to affirm stand. Reasons to negate have been put in question. You default PRO because all of the affirmative points are the most credible points thusfar. I'm very disappointed. I was excited to debate this resolution.
• You extend everything.

• 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…

• Okay, I should have extracted it more. Online homeschooling, and I have never said it was free. But a student who learns better with the online learning should be able to do it for free, whether using a computer loaned to them , or they can afford their own computer. And the…

• Thanks for the debate. And thanks for you quick response time, much appreciated. Wish the best to you. To conclude, first address Con's point Okay, Con did not ask for clarification of my arguments, which were accurately cited as well as accurately summarized the law [with…
• In this round, I would like to integrate Pro's arguments while simultaneously addressing statement offered by Con. Response to Con's statement: "…all your talking about is nothing but what your taking from a book your reading." First, footnoted and extensively addressed in…

• I would like to begin by attacking my opponent's statements about responsibility. He claims that teachers are cracking down on cheaters in his school, which may very well be true. But then he says, and I quote "Also, those kids that choose to cheat, how many actually get to…
• My opponent began his points by stating that High Schools teach students responsibility. I disagree. High Schools contain far too many students who get by because they cheat and give minimal effort, and in turn have minimal understanding. The average to below average student…

• I look forward to an excellent debate. To begin with, I would like to clarify what I will be arguing for this debate. I will be defending the statement, "Common Core should be removed from the public education system. " I will continue by providing reasons that concur with this…
• Before we begin, I would just like to note that I am new to debate! Full Resolution I will be arguing for the removal of Common Core and the detrimental effects it has on public school education in America. Definitions Common Core: "a set of high-quality academic standards in…

• My opponent still hasn't stated which country this debate is based on. "We are worrying to much about the teachers then what the teachers actually teach." Here my opponent has made a spelling mistake. This is why we need to spend money on teachers who may be strict but help…
• As Con, I will be debating that we are not spending too much on education. I am naturally assuming that the country this is based on is America, but please correct me if otherwise. Pro has not mentioned any rules, so let me propose mine. 1. No swearing/calling names 2. No new…

• My opponent said "These classes can be taken online as well, giving the student a better atmosphere to learn in, creating more creativity." It is not a matter of place where are you creating, but how well your product is accepted. For example, as it was described in my story,…
• ok, i see your point of view, but. For the start, I would like to tell one story. During the class, while teacher was talking lecture, one girl from the back of the class was drawing. When teacher asked her what she was drawing, she relied "God". Teacher was surprised and said…

• 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.

• #1- Uniforms provide a lot of time that has been wasted upon choosing the "perfect" outfit. #2- it provides a positive impact on peer pressure #3- improves students achievement by 64% #4- increases self esteem by creating equality #5- having the freedom to wear own clothing…
• This would reduce bullying! Less money spent on clothes. it can encourage school spirit.

• first off i think that it is the childs choice to do what they want with their body so teachers who will most of the time only see them for 4 years should not make decisions for them

• It's seems to me that at the end of your passage you forgot that yours was "con-multilingualism":) well, spending money on bilingual education initiatives cannot be a waste of money because, as you said, " "bilingual boost" extends beyond the classroom and into later life. The…
• The significance of multilinguism doesn't refer to the high school only. It helps people in general, at any age. This is scientificantly proved that those who know several languages are much less likely to have Alzheimer's disease or any other diseases connected to brain: being…

• 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.

• Fundamentally, this debate is about emphasis, and not whether or not college is good. Both Con and I agree that college can be a great learning experience with good possible returns for companies and society. However, my argument from the start of this debate has been that…
• Thanks to my opponent for continuing this debate so effectively. Con is essentially non-responsive to my points. He states that there are other roads one could take, and then disregards the analysis I've provided in support of them. I don't see any response to vocational…

• I apologize for forfeiting round 4. I've been busy lately, and didn't have an opportunity to make a response. I suppose conduct should go to con for that. Anyways, to continue the pattern, I'll respond directly to your counter arguments. Since it is the last round, I won't…
• Here your arguments as I see them: 1) It is unfair for an intelligent person to have his/her grade lowered because he/she cannot grasp a sport or is bad at said sport. 2) grading a person on ones inborn traits is wrong. 3) grading students based on their physical abilities is…

• Schools are supposed to promote healthy lifestyles, and I feel by having a soda machine in a hallway it is defeating the purpose of promoting healthy living. Rather than a student spending the $2.00 on a soda, they would be able to buy a water for $1.50, or a bottle of Vitamin…
• There is no argument that if a student wanted to bring soda to their school they could. The fact is that students do not need to bring it from home, because it is provided in schools. Where there is accessibility, there will be use, and there will be abuse. Having no vending…

• That is certainly an intriguing (and flawed) system, but it's not what we are currently debating. There is a lot of fluff taught in schools currently, but your system doesn't actually address it. It just bumps out the vast majority of students at a young age. With my biology…

• You probably know the routine. I will be arguing that summer shouldn't exist and con will be arguing that it should. Also use the check your spelling button before submitting your argument. Rules: [1] No trolling [2] Be civil [3] Try not to use logical fallacies [4] If you need…

• If the "reasonable suspicion" is a rumor, what does the other student have to hide? They should be willing to let the school officials search their belongings with ease if they have nothing to hide. You brought up some points but you have not provided enough information to…
• The searches that I am talking about are NOT random. One other point that I would like to state is that, lockers are the school's property: so therefore, the contents inside of the locker are subject to periodic administrative searches, and districts reserve the right to search…

• Yes I quite agree, change that name to religion, though, I don't think the school would want a bunch of complaints. Yes, I know that's a dumb precaution, but you know how the world is.
• I actually disagree, I believe it is good to have a good amount of both. I believe that you should be able to have a freedom of speech in what you believe. I also believe that, since this world is so large, that you should be able to know what other people believe. I do not…

• 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…

• My opponent stated that the period of breaks won't flow well with sports and clubs. I live in Arizona and my brother attends high school where the sports continue even after fall break. These sorts still continue through these breaks with optional games and practices. So, if a…
• I stand affirmative for schools using the 45/15 plan, and if you don't know what the 45/15 plan is.... well it's basically where a school is year-round and the school teaches for 45 days (8 weeks, not including weekends), and then the students would have break for 15 days (3…

• The 3-month long summer vacation that is common in public schools across America should be reduced for the benefit of the students. Shorter, more frequent breaks, should replace the system that we currently have in place. The only exception would be 11th-12th grade students who…
• As a teacher myself, I am sure many educators would oppose this plan. Teachers enjoy their time off as much as their students. However, we must overcome the selfish desires that we have for vacation time since it is harming the children in the long run. Certain charter schools…
