[quote=Anonymous]I wish elementary and middle school kids learned the art of a good debate - in an age appropriate way of course. I was on a high school debate team but was up against kids who had learned how to develop rationale arguments (lunch room menu items, etc.) in expensive private schools (and their parents) and I had a lot of catching up to do. I try to get my child to present clear arguments when she disagrees with something and I actually listen. I get the sense that her teachers just want her to shut up and listen. She doesn't get to question at school. I've taught her about making sure she only debates at the "right time and place," but there's never a time to debate at school. [/quote]
