• 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.

• One problem with this debate is that the resolution seems to be in the form of a question rather than a claim. Since your statement on Round 1 is only a question, I can make the assumption that based on the fact that you are Con and I am Pro, you arguing that British and…
• All Con does is state that I can't prove anything without rebuttal my case.

• "people in other countries learn English as well as their native language, therefore we should learn more than 1 language." This makes absolutely no sense, and is in fact nonsense. If people in other countries know English, then English is all we need to know! Teaching foreign…

• According to research, homework improves test scores if not given too much. If we give no homework, then there is no extra practice being involved. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com...) I wouldn't exactly say that it would save teachers a lot of complaining, although I'm sure it…
• Students should have homework. If students have other things they have to do, they need to learn to balance both. Homework is given to make sure that the students understand the material before the test. If the student doesn't understand the work at home and it is taking them…

• English, math, science, and social studies are treated as the only "important" areas of study. However, the arts (creative writing, visual art, music, dance, theater, etc.) are equally important. The traditional core subjects offer little room for creativity, and they consist…

• No, I liked it and awared the real significance of uniform and its purpose. I deem your idea about high price is wrong because of it is bought for the whole year may be for two years sometimes. From another side, it will be the real and hard puzzle to choose different clothes…
• As you mentioned their creativity and burning ambition of being modern can be shown in other directions, however school is an educational institution. There must be some frames and rules in order to control children in some degree. Also uniform is a saving of time. One more…

• I did some research on Patch.com and 50% of kids get bullied because of their clothes. Students want to wear what they want but it's only for a few hours and it's not going to kill you. Various People around the world kill themselves because of bullying. I know parents rather…

• First of all, I'm not too sure about what a moral is but I'll try my best. What I mean by "I believe that people who skip school skip for for a more personal reason", I mean that when kids get punished for skipping, the first thing that the counselor or whatever will think is…

• I think you took apart my sections vey nicely, but I have more hard facts to offer up. I like to keep my closing statements short, so lets go for it. I also want to point out that some of your debate was opinion, which was quite interesting but still unneeded. actually more…
• Thank you for accepting, Yraelz, and from what I have seen you are quite good. First I would like to bring up one of your points. "multiple languages is always a possibility there are far to many out there to learn Thus the better solution would be to create a global language…

• 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…

• The modern education system is making our upcoming generation dumb. As children mug up knowledge from their books and puke it out on tests they forget to understand the real essence of education. In an history class you remember all the id terms. In an Algebra 2 class you are…

• First thing is first think back to your grandparents, then think of yourself. who is more responsible. grand parents right? that because they were punished the right way. you did something wrong they got hit. now a days kids just get yelled at, newsflash people kids don't care,…
• No it is the teachers job to teach and get kids to learn and hitting will get them to listen because they will be scared not to

• Thank you Con. I didn't say to have 10 periods per day. I said 10 periods for their subjects. What I mean is that there should be at least 4 subjects per day. Which then includes in their own timetable, their 10 subjects. People learn more, with 10+ subjects. But, people who…
• Okay, I am looking forward to this. I think children should have more than 10 subjects. Because, it helps them learn more. Yet, it motivates more for them. Nonetheless, you may or may not agree. Because, an ESF school is a very large school. So, I think the more subjects there…

• Your starting argument may sound fine and dandy to those who do not know that a public school is funded and run by the local government (private school funding as a whole is generally not struggling due to tuition and private donations, I should be clear that this discussion…
• I wrote that "I feel that teachers should be provided more funding to achieve their goals within the schools" because many teachers are ending up in positions where they want to do projects that they end up having to fund out of pocket, and they have materials also that they…

• A ban is a prohibition on all products. If people ban guns in the US , people could still get guns in. That does not mean there is a ban. A ban would represent consequences for having the product in said location. So yes a school could just verbally and officially declare a ban…
• My adversary has failed to understand the resolution The resolution is *can* schools enforce this ban, not should they. Can means is there a possibility or is it reasonable to assume that this ban can be enforced. Schools most definitely can enforce the ban by doing full on…

• Provide the link. I believe my case is stronger, and touches points his doesn't.

• Kids should learn the Skills. They should have to try out an instrument. If they don't learn it then that could hold them back from finding a hidden talent hidden inside. They should not have to take math but not learn Art or something that they could be really good at.
• Well I did misunderstand because I didn't know that they force kids in which case I agree but there are musicians out there that make a lot of money off what they do.

• Freedom of expression does not apply in all situations. School is definitely one of them. As far as your other comments, well, lets hope you have a daughter one day. School uniforms will not only relieve the distractions my opponent speaks of but it will save parents money.…
• School uniforms would not only save parents money but it would help prevent students from defining themselves by the clothes on their back. I really do think the pros outweigh the cons when it comes to this issue.

• I have to disagree as to why our young people have lost their pride and their patriotic feelings towards their country While America 's parents slept and were mainly unaware, their children in public schools were being taught that America wasn't a honorable nation, has…
• The question is where to begin in providing reasons why America's parents are removing their children from America's public school systems when they are able to do it. Home Schooling has been gaining in popularity and the public school system has been declining since many…
