thanks @Corinthian and @ZBD5421 very good insights. The debate world is new to me…truthfully, I think S1 joined because D1 did not do well in it and he wanted to outperform her. LOL. But it’s succeeded beyond his wildest dreams…as a 1st year, he’s already won 3 state championships…including 1st place at a varsity tournament in November…it’s been nuts. But what that has meant is dropping everything from the tennis team to the newspaper staff…he’s young still and i rarely discuss anything college with him…i want him to enjoy the now…but I knew my CC colleagues would have good insights.
