Of the 12 members that were on the team two years ago, only six are left and only one of the remaining members is an underclassman.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While debate with smaller teams is feasible, it may put pressure on the members. The question is: why are so few people doing debate and why are they not recruiting new members?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Debate is co-curricular, which means that you must take the Debate and Discussion class in order to be eligible for the team. The class must be able to fit into a seven hour schedule.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oral presentation is one of the most disliked things to do within the class, according to debate team coordinator Amy Bushey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a8I think a lot of my students now are very fearful of public speaking,\u201d Bushey said. \u201cI see that in my Econ class, and when I ask them, \u2018What, don&#8217;t you enjoy most of the class?\u2019\u00a0 and they&#8217;re only public speaking, public speaking, public speaking.\u0308\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Bushey, the oral format of debate also creates a problem for the students.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI don&#8217;t think that students have enough exposure to [oral skills],\u201d Bushey said. \u201cEspecially in a world where we&#8217;re becoming more text-technology orientated. But in the real world, as we are required to work in different teams, share concepts in different environments, communication skills are very important. So [debate format] allows students to practice those skills.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This creates a situation that could result in DHS not having a debate team. This\u00a0 will be a change to how DHS has operated in years previous.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10246,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1759],"tags":[439,202,2391],"class_list":["post-13819","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-clubs","tag-amy-bushey","tag-debate","tag-samuel-baker"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Debate Dilemma - UPDATE ONLINE<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/update.midlandps.org\/index.php\/2019\/09\/debate-dilemma\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Debate Dilemma - UPDATE ONLINE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/update.midlandps.org\/index.php\/2019\/09\/debate-dilemma\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"UPDATE ONLINE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DHSUpdate\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-09-20T15:47:26+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-09-20T15:47:27+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Samuel Baker\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@DowHighUpdate\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@DowHighUpdate\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Samuel Baker\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/09\\\/debate-dilemma\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/09\\\/debate-dilemma\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Samuel Baker\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/f51c20bd97c04a541a388848b5a401c5\"},\"headline\":\"Debate Dilemma\",\"datePublished\":\"2019-09-20T15:47:26+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-09-20T15:47:27+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/09\\\/debate-dilemma\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":281,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#organization\"},\"keywords\":[\"Amy Bushey\",\"debate\",\"Samuel Baker\"],\"articleSection\":[\"CLUBS\"],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"CommentAction\",\"name\":\"Comment\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/09\\\/debate-dilemma\\\/#respond\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/09\\\/debate-dilemma\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/09\\\/debate-dilemma\\\/\",\"name\":\"Debate Dilemma - UPDATE ONLINE\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-09-20T15:47:26+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-09-20T15:47:27+00:00\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/09\\\/debate-dilemma\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/\",\"name\":\"UPDATE ONLINE\",\"description\":\"H.H.
