How Do We Teach Argument Skills?
Before launching into an argument, consult the RISA checklist which is to check whether the disagreement between the two parties is in fact real. I worry a lot that we are raising kids to be argument illiterate. There's lots of wonderful work being done thinking about how we implement debate pedagogically. The one great advantage of a debate club at schools is it requires no equipment. It's cheap actually. And so there have been experiments like in Broward County in Florida where every school I think rolled out this program in public schools.
