After a month or two of studying various issues, the class takes a 45 minute break and plays a review game out on our lovely La Cueva soccer field. The competition is great, but not as great as these students' ability to recall important information like the differences between NATO and the UN or the the definitions of our WOD terms such as sedition and theocracy.
Students compete in biweekly debates. Often, students select the topics and spend 30 minutes in class preparing ending in a quick and fun debate!
Topics have included:
Should the US send troops to the Ukraine? Year-round School Video Games and Violence
High School Should Start Later Internet Censorship
