[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love this! DS has a debate tournament coming up and homework should be banned in ES is one of the topics. Keep it coming, because I plan to pass along a link to this thread. [/quote]

ha ha.  A perennial discussion topic. 
Here is some good information for your son:  http://www.ascd.org/publications/educational-leadership/mar07/vol64/num06/The-Case-For-and-Against-Homework.aspx

Is another topic about students having cell phones at school?  Just curious.  [/quote]

Lol. Close. Last debate tournament had a is texting evil topic. One of the teams stood up there and kept yelling "Texting is death!!!" (Because of car crashes caused by texting). And this time around, there is a the US should be required to protect extraterrestrial microbial life on other planets topic (I mean, wtf?). Watching middle schoolers debate is mostly about trying to keep a straight face when your child says something like, "my opponent says that that X causes teenage pregnancy. But judge, why is teenage pregnancy a bad thing?  After all, the world needs new babies." [/quote]
