1st debate comp of the season for the Kid.

Zhe finishes memorizing two speeches on Thursday-Fri. Goes out Saturday & double-breaks, finishing 2nd in original oratory and 6th in info even w/o boards (she crushed final rd & would have gotten very high ranks with boards). #ProudPapa #SpeechAndDebate

At GWMS, Ms. Buonforte’s 8th graders made their voices heard in their first formal debates, showcasing sharp research, teamwork, and persuasive speaking. Nicely done!

Leaving most smart people with the educated guess that her former Jesus piece is actually very well documented inside of all of Epstein's personal & long-standing records!

Even though she's a Sasquatch w/ nothing intelligent to say, at least she has some level of principle. #BBBBB #SpeechAndDebate

The One Debate Tournament I Went To The author describes a double standard experienced by their mother in high school, and their rebellion through sexualized behavior.

I didn't make it out often, so I really tried to make it count when I did.

#SpeechAndDebate the DOJ just may want to read up on it. Lyndsey Graham even used it for actions (inappropriately) in North Carolina with the Brad Raffensburger fiasco where trump tried to organize election interference with large group of co-conspirators.

Still mad about this #SpeechAndDebate #ValueDebate

My L/Der broke to NSDA Nationals!!!

We’ve had a tough year so for her to finish 2nd in the state last week and get out to Nats in the following week is everything 😭😭😭😭 #SpeechAndDebate #WhateverYouDoDoItWell

To run it because it works with lay judges, I’m going to acknowledge the truth of the statement but then point out you are intentionally coaching your students to run circular moral arguments to achieve a desired end (breaking).

Do better.

3rd place medal with hearts and pink emblazon that reads Fairview Fling Informative Speaking 3rd Place

The local informative speaking circuit is stacked. We have the person who got 3rd at Nats last year. My Kid has been raking. Zhe has a teammate w/ 2 wins.

But the Kid got the “1” in a prelim round with 3rd-at-Nats and took 3rd in the entire tournament.

It's so sad what the event has become. L/D changed my life. I'm a professional ethicist and an attorney. I'm as close to a professional value debater as they come.

And I'm here to say: THIS. AIN'T. IT. #SpeechAndDebate #HighSchoolSpeechAndDebate 🎤

7/7

You know you're a #speechanddebate coach when this is your view at 6 on a Saturday morning. #SayItLikeYouMeanIt

Oh I am so absolutely dead.
Mind you this is a 3 hour drive and I'm leaving at 5am. #speech #speechanddebate

Just because you're gluten free doesn't mean you don't deserve yummy cookies! These are the Mexican hot chocolate cookies from my book: gluten free and just a bit 🔥. They're for the judges at our #speechanddebate tournament tomorrow and they came out perfectly--they even have feet like macarons!
