[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the only real EC hook is athletic recruitment.[/quote]

We know someone recruited to Harvard for debate from [i]a W. school.[/i]  [/quote]

If you know a student who was "recruited to Harvard for debate from a  W[ashington] school", I assume that school would likely be GDS, as i[b]t is the only private school in DC itself that competes in policy debate on the national circuit.[[/b]/quote]

[b]Wrong[/b].[/quote]

When the poster said a Washington school, I thought they were referring to a school in DC itself.  There are notable examples of of public and private schools in both Maryland ([i]e.g.[/i], Whitman) and Virginia ([i]e.g.[/i], Potomac,  TJ) that have debaters competing on the national circuit, mostly in other types of debate (e.g., extemp, parli, public forum, LD), but some also in policy.  Wilson in DC occasionally fields a team or individuals on the national circuit, though very rarely in policy, depending on student interest in a given year.  But I thought that GDS was the only private school in DC itself that had teams consistently competing, almost exclusively in policy, on the national circuit.  If I am wrong about that, please feel free to correct me. [/quote]

"W" school doesn't mean Washington. [/quote]
