HALL OF FAMETHE BEST DEBATERS THAT EVER GRACED MY CLASSROOM

Throughout all of the various activities that my students have enjoyed (endured) while in my classroom, DEBATING usually remains as a high point of the academic career of my students. Most students who participate in this activity somewhat agree that it made them stand-up for themselves a bit more. It builds stamina, courage, self-awareness of potential, independence and develops strong public speaking skills.

Though our students have always been encouraged to SPEAK-UP in a crowd, debating forces them to stand on their own merits, intelligence, wit  and vocabulary skills.
