Debate at the high school level allows students to build skills that will aid them in the future. More than the specific content of the debates, I intend to pay attention to the attentiveness, responsiveness, poise, and creativity of students. Students who debate well now, and who are comfortable in front of a crowd, should be encouraged to develop their skills, because in all likelihood, these are the sort of students that will go on to pursue high value degrees and careers, like in law.
