[quote=Anonymous]There are different formats of debate, both in high school and college. Policy debate is definitely hard-core, competitive, stressful, and promotes spreading. But there are other formats of debate (e.g., Lincoln-Douglas, although I think that that format isn't nearly as common now, public forum, parliamentary). If debate is something your kid is interested in pursuing in college, take a look at the programs out there and look for schools that offer more than just policy. Speech (individual events) is another great way to gain many of the same skills, i.e., public speaking, speaking on your feet, etc.[/quote]
