<p>Has anyone here done debate? What are your thoughts on it?</p>
<p>Debate is LOVE. No kidding. It's one of THE most worthwhile experiences in high school.</p>
<p>I've been wanting to sign up, but I also wanted to hear what other people had to say about it. So why do you love it?</p>
<p>Yeah, DEbate is amazing. We're not competetive in the local school league, but just enough so that it gets the blood flowing. It just really gets me pumped to just be able to build arguments for myself, and get an oppurtunity to use logic and apply it to why things would or wouldn't work in a political and social sense. It's just exhilirating.</p>
<p>Do you think it's helpful to you for other classes, activities, etc. also?</p>
<p>sort of...i suppose logic is useful in all subjects, and logic is what u need in debate.</p>
<p>It trains you to organize your thoughts and explain things clearly and coherently.</p>
<p>Debate is awesome in that, when you're up there talking, everything just flows, and you get this amazing, indescribable rush of exhileration and adrenaline flowing through your body.</p>
<p>It teaches you how to think on the spot, how to defend your own ideas, and how to research/write arguments/persuasive pieces. It is what inspired me to become an attorney.</p>
<p>Debate rocks...I'm a debate team captain for next year!</p>
