Parents
Debate has brought together many talented students who seek to learn the skills needed to be a successful public speaker. Throughout one's life, public speaking skills will be essential no matter what one does. I am sure that the parents of debators from last year know how much debate has benifited their children. Debate is an activity that not only allows kids to have fun together, but greatly increases their skill level in speech. Please share how debate has benefited your child.

Not only has debate taught me how to speak confidently and clearly in public, it has also brought together my dad, my friends' parents, and myself. As we all work in teams of three or two outside of school, parent coordination is vital. Mr. Creech was not there to help us all the time, and we needed a coach. My dad stepped up to help my team. We met two to three times a week, and as a result, my friends, my dad, and I grew a lot closer. Debate has taught me not only how to be a good public speaker and how to speak confidently, but also how to be a good friend and a good son.
