Homecoming?

I miss debate.  Not debate team, which I would've joined, but I can't stand the teacher who runs it, but good, old-fashioned classroom debate.  It doesn't happen anymore.  It left classrooms and the development of the child mind (at least in my experience) before I can remember.  A healthy argument helps stimulate my neuron receptors and propagates my learning experience.  It needs a homecoming.  I want to have a healthy debate over the outcome of a court decision (thank you Mrs. Sutterfield) or of a new school anouncement, something to derail the everyday monotony of school life.  I want to debate and lose.  I want to debate and win.  I want it all back.
