Students will learn to compare the importance between arguments and opinions in order to do impact analysis. They will become better speakers and critical thinkers while learning to listen to their peers and formulate responses. In terms of winning or losing competitive debate rounds, knowing how to weigh impacts is one of the most important indicators. In life, learning how to compare consequences is essential to good decision making. This course will help your child develop both these skills.

The BCDA's founder has been run a competitive college debate team for twenty years. He has also run elementary and middle school debate workshops for the past four years both in the US and internationally. We have now taught well over a thousand kids from countries around the world digitally through this platform with great reviews. If for whatever reason you feel the class didn't live up to what you were looking for, please contact us for a refund. We are offering these courses as a way for students to get the benefits of debate and peer-directed education while schools are shutdown. Debate is not necessarily for everyone, but we are confident that if your kid is excited about it they will enjoy this class, and don't want you paying if that's not the case.
