It is a policy debate team. This year we debated education reform. Next years topic is immigration. I love it, the kids are debating timely issues. All the policy debate teams throughout the country will debate the same topic. It is fascinating to see the spin they put on the issues.
Some debaters get very creative in their presentation. AT the Harvard tournament, I judge a few rounds and one team had record a song to introduce their argument another did it with a poem.
