Should there be support groups for stressed out students in school>
I personally think that there should be support groups in highschol because the average child is not going to talk to their parents about about peer pressure, or other things that is going on in their lives....
PE courses should be mandatory for NC State students to complete in order to graduate
PE is a mandatory way for students to be healthy. We live in an obese country and having physical education in state school such as N.C. State is one step in progressing in the right direction. For example, the PE courses offered at N.C. State teach you exercise skills that you can use for outside the classroom. These courses also take the time to offer nutritional information that students do not learn in their normal academic schedule. From this students can gain a great understanding in what...
Changing the school year to all year
When it comes to making the school year last throughout the entire year, I would have to support the movement to do so. In colonial times, the only reason students did not have to atten school during the Summer was so that they could help their family with the farm. Now that our entire country runs off of industry, virtually none of our students still live on a farm. Therefore, there is no economic incentive to keep the Summer break. Not to mention the educational benefits for students and oppor...
A Bill requiring all public school employees to submit to drug testing
Well as this seems to be my first debate ever online (which I didn't even know was a possibility until my friend mentioned it to me.) I am starting my First debate... Now. ~ Arguments ~ 1. A number of students & adults are both under the influence of drugs. Since most adults have jobs it makes drugs more accessible to them than it is to the majority of students without jobs. Yet school employees don't have to be drug tested, for some unknown reason and only Students are to be drug tested....

Public high school students in the US ought not be required to pass standardized test exams to gradu
Because I believe that education should not be subjected to government control, I affirm today's resolution: "Resolved: Public high school students in the United States ought not be required to pass standardized test exams to graduate." The value for the round is education, because it is implicitly stated within the context of the resolution. The criterion is prevention of government monopoly, which means to restrict total government control of schools as much as possible. Contention...

High school students in the US ought to be required to pass standardized exit exams to graduate
I believe that children should be required to pass standardized tests before graduating high school. Every hs has its own curriculum. We need a uniform way to measure basic skills. All children should be required to pass a uniform test before receiving their high school diploma. In this way, when they are released into the real world, they are assured to have basic capability in reading, writing and arithmetic....

Public High School Students ought not be Required to Pass Exit Exams to Graduate
Hey, yeah, it's an LD topic debate. I have a schedule and plan to debate every topic on DDO at least once through my whole High School Debate Career, so, thanks for accepting. I'll be taking the NEGATIVE for this debate, though I feel it may have a disadvantage topically. I do this because this is the only way to maintain LD speaking format on DDO. Round 1B = 1AC Round 2A = 1NR Round 2B = 1AR Round 3A = 2NR Round 3B = 2AR With this, I also place a burden on my opponent: You must fo...
