Class was quite interesting today. WE GOT TO DEBATE! I absolutely love to argue, so when the assignment is to simply state and defend an argument, I’m all over that. I thought that the other two teams that were arguing didn’t really have all that much to say. They just had a lot of fluff. I shouldn’t say that about both teams. The team that put forth the argument did not seem to plan very well. The group tearing their argument apart did an excellent job.
As for me and my group, I thought we did pretty good. We defended ourselves relatively well even despite the fact that the team against us got us off subject a few times. They were holding their own until I mentioned the piss-poor graduation rate at Bartlett High School.
All in all, I’d say that the experience was a good one. I would really like it if we could repeat the assignment again sometime. It sort of breaks up the monotony of the day.
I hope that I am not the only one who held this opinion. After all, it would be nice to have a debate every once in a while, even if it’s just to let off a little steam. The best part about this whole thing is the fact that it can’t end in a fist fight like so many other arguments.

I think we will definitely try that again. Or something like it.
