The education system in the U.S is failing us and does not teach kids for the future but rather to be a obedient puppet that works and listen and does nothing else
We are thought to just listen and be obedient which was meant for a factory worker. You are not meant or taught to be creative and make new ideas in school instead your are meant to do Homework, assignments, projects exactly how the teacher intended you can´t do other ideas or ¨your doing it wrong¨ supposedly when instead we should be giving a broad topic and be able to expanded on that . You are shunned from being creative and are meant to be obedient.
1. school does not teach you about life and does not matter in the long term.
- A good head start for learning
- A great chance to develop social skills.
- Exposure to enhance communication skills.
- Putting students on a path of lifelong learning
. School does not teach you have to be creative and use your mind but rather use memory. In a time where you need creativity and be innovative.
Yet after all those points you made you never once talked about common core. What happened there in your next argument I would love to see you talk about common core
Most of the article's points were about socializing when many of my points were about creativity and memory.
- A good head start for learning
- A great chance to develop social skills.

I have said the education system is not necessarily school
The resolution makes this difficult to win as Pro.
There are certainly relevant points by Pro, such as mentioning how school doesn’t necessarily teach skills that are valuable or how teachers are underpaid, but the evidence of these claims is only supported by anecdotes. Pro doesn’t provide other means of evidence to support this.
Con refuted quite a few of these claims by proving that his argument aligned with the proper definition and provided links to source his evidence.
Pro’s grammar was semi-okay, but it could use more commas to make it more legible. Pro also mispells a few words. Con’s grammar and punctuation was 100% readable and spot-on for each of the rounds.
The two were mutually respectful, so it’s a tie on conduct.
This was a subpar debate for many reasons, but I think I can still evaluate it within its own framework.
ARGUMENTS
Pro points toward a lack of focus on creativity and innovation in favor of rote memorization and obedience. Con links examples of creativity in classrooms. Pro brings up that Con never addressed Common Core, and it remains that way.
Based on the definitions used in this debate, education doesn't strictly entail creativity and innovation, nor memorization and obedience. Neither side makes arguments about what it means for education to 'fail us' or how to evaluate that. Given this, the arguments made don't really ever actually address the topic, so I default to the Burden of Proof. Pro, by instigation, assumes BoP. Furthermore the argument of lack of creativity WAS countered.
Arguments to Con.
SOURCES
Con gives definitions and links articles. Given the constraints on character limits, I deem that this was an adequate integration into the arguments and made a significant effect on the debate overall

CONDUCT
This isn't particularly important but Con complained several times about the character limit. This is annoying. It is your responsibility in accepting the debate to evaluate the debate parameters and make sure they are acceptable. If there is a problem, it should be addressed and fixed before you accept. This is like agreeing to fight someone with your hands tied behind your back then complaining that the fight isn't fair. You have to live with the constraints you give yourself.
Conduct to Pro
someone want to vote?
"rather to be a obedient puppet that works and listen"
Except this is the future many people needs. Unless you argue for that unemployment is somehow superior to having a job in the factory.
Pro, please add more definitions.
lol
Sure it sucks something, namely the dust. I mean, what is a school without an employed janitor?
Please provide definitions, so I can further understand what you mean by, "the education system sucks"
Thank you.
