On Friday, Ms. Barabasz’s 7th grade Honors class had a debate arguing the proposition, “violence is never justified.” Three speakers from each team presented their arguments and were then cross-examined by the opposing team. Rebuttal speakers presented concluding statements and a team of judges, made of both students and teachers) determined a winner. Both teams were lead by a chairwoman that organized the event. Ultimately the judges decided that the affirmative team was the most convincing, but all students presented very convincing arguments.
