11am Session, Free Debater

I lost my my voice that day so I wrote everything I wanted to say, and here are some of them:

Side 2 Debater explained that the government puts a lot of money in to the education system, but U.S.'s education ranking is still low which means it is the student's fault and not the technology.

- I wanted to say that how are student's different in the U.S. than maybe the student's in U.K. who have a higher ranking? Are U.S. students brought up to go on facebook in class? Maybe the money the government is putting in isn't put in an effective area. Technology can definitely help students concentrate more and learn more, we just need to know how.

Side 1 Debater said that sometimes students aren't lazy, but they couldn't keep up with the school work, which is how they don't do well. Professers just assume you are lazy.

- But this is also why we have to apply to Colleges, and colleges accept you if your competent for this particular school's workload. Also there are a lot of review sessions, SI, TA's you can email or help you can get from departments. It is still the student's fault if they lack behind and don't try to get help.

One of the other free debaters said: Students don't listen in class because they think the subject the learn in school are not relevant in life, even though it is. This is the student's fault.

- I don't think this shows the point that it is the student's fault. It actually shows the education system is flawed. It should evolve to make sure the students to be more engaged and understand that the stuff learnt is relevant to later career and life.
