Teachers not uderstanding students learning style.should

It seems that my opponenent has not actually negated or even attempted to negate any of my arguments made in the negation, so they still stand and still provide the reasons needed to request a negative vote. However, my opponent did make some arguments of his own, which I will now address. "I want to see a change in the school system where teachers would care about students learning styles and physical abilities and not forcing students to be what they want them to be and there for change is needed in all schools" Unfortunately this is not an option in the current school system. From your own experience we can derive that it cannot happen from the point of view of the private school system, and from both my experience and my arguments in the second round we can derive that it's not possible from the point of view of the public school system. Because it's not possible, I'm afraid this change you're looking for simply cannot happen, and the resolution is negated. "there is no reason for teachers to be forcing there students to do what they can't do and they should learn to respect all students learning style and physical abilities" Actually, there is. The reason teachers continue to press challenging subjects onto their students is so that they can learn this challenging material and overcome it, becoming more intelligent and well-rounded in the process. When I was in the 4th grade, there was no way I could do my times tables. I would keep trying, but I'd still get close to zero on almost all of the minute tests. However, even though I couldn't do it, my teacher kept pushing me and I eventually learned it. Now, so many years later, not only have I mastered basic multiplication, but triginometry as well. None of that could have happened if I hadn't been forced to do what I previously thought was impossible, which is students seem to be "forcing there students to do what they can't do". From the athletic aspect, well that's kind of just how you work out. You do things that body either can't handle or comes close to not being able to handle, rip your muscles, and they regrow you can more. That's why gym teachers make all studens run laps and climb the rope and perform other challenging physical activities. However, if a student has a medical reason which legitimately states that they are inable to do these workouts for whatever reasons (asthma, weak bone structure, etc.), then they can be exempt from them, so it's not like the students are being pushed to do what they literally cannot do, just what they need to improve on physically. Thus, because it is not only impossible for the public school aspect to uphold the resolution, and because it is neccesary for students to pushed in a high-difficulty environment, I urge a negative vote.
Teachers not uderstanding students learning style.should

Because the resolution states that "teachers" should understand every student's learning style, this applies to all teachers in general, including those in public schools. Thus, by negating the public school aspect of the resolution, the whole resolution fails. Thus, this is what my negative constructive will revolve around. The following contentions confirm my negation by refuting the public school aspect, thus toppling the resolution. Contention 1: Public Schools are based on availability, not quality. Public schools were created for two main reasons: 1.) to ensure that cheap education is available to every student in America, and 2.) To keep young children from aimlessly wandering the streets and causing crimes. Logically, if a system funds the schools that house almost every child in the country, it simply cannot afford to offer a diferent teaching style and curriculum for each student. Instead, it provides a basic education that every student is subjected to, unless they qualify for Honors and AP courses, then they recieve a more advanced, but still general education. Contention 2: Public School Systems simply cannot affort a different teaching style for every student. Even if you completely disregaurd the fact that it's not the duty for a public system to change their methods for each and every student who goes through their doors, it is undeniable that the American Department of Education cannot afford to hire the teaching staff or provide as many different textbooks for as many learning styles as they encounter. I can use my own school as an example (Prattville High School in Prattville, Alabama, for the source), where we cannot even afford textbooks for students. We have less than a classroom set for each class, and if those get damaged, then tough luck. If a school cannot even afford one set of textbooks per subject, how can you force them to tailor their education around individual students. My basic advice is this: If you want a more personalized educational system, go to a private school. However, a public school has neither the duty nor the ability to customize their curriculum for every student. And because the public school system's teachers cannot be subjected to the terms set forth by the resolution, the resolution fails. This is why I urge a negative vote, thank you.
Teachers not uderstanding students learning style.should

I find that teachers just don`t understand their students learning style and physical abilities because My school I feel all the teachers are against me and all the other students because the students have diffent learning styles and physicalabilities and for my self i learn hands on and i can not retain info from books so when it comes to tests my teachers get mad at me when i don`t do well but what they don`t undertand is that i can`t retain the info from books and my gym teacher does not understad my physical abilitie and she forses me to go go go but my heart says stop stop stop and slow down but does she understand i know that she does not. Should teachers uderstand their student or should students be treated unfair ?

Pro's pathetic, what a noob, he can't even properly spell, Since he's too busy shudderin' and tremblin'; that I can tell, Just what is a sou.l? I've never heard of it; I have no clue, His tongue is in a knot; he even says that satin teases you. He says "roll out the mat" and wants to go "rat-a-tat-tat"; I mean, seriously dude? What kind of ludicrous sh*t is that? He's running out of ideas; he's backed into the corner, He has nowhere to run or hide; it's obviously game over. I almost feel ashamed for such a pathetic opposition, I have the upper hand; in Round 5 it'll be total demolition. He's fighting an uphill battle; it's only going to get worse, I'll destroy each of his silly beliefs with verse after verse. Pro, that quack, tells me to "spred your wings and fly," He must be high; we don't have wings to soar in the sky, What an idiot, why would I kneel? I'm the one who's right, By now, he's in shock; his face is "white and teal" from fright. The fool that he is, where's his evidence? Where's the BoP? He has no basis, no facts, not even a bibliography. He tells me to "throw away that science disk;" wake up, you idiot; DDO doesn't have time for logical fallacies from a bigot. No rebuttals, no counters, Pro's obviously in defeat, A landslide victory against this noob is hardly a feat. Argument, rebuttals, and rap, he's totally outmatched; Thanks for the free victory, Pro; no strings attached.

Where the heck has Pro been getting these illusions, When he says "beginning," I say "delusions". Pro's rejecting millennia of scientific evidence, He gives it up for what? He sure is really dense. He says creationism is for real, that little goof, But all I can say is, WHERE'S YOUR BURDEN OF PROOF? I support evolution, arcing back to Mega 85 B. C. , Where we primates first evolved from mammals, you see. That was only the beginning; the next in 20MBC was the Hominidae, And 6 million years after that came the monkeys of Ponginae. Humanity still had a long way to go, With the gorillas and chimps 4 Ma ago. At last, the homos (not the gay kind) evolved with their stone tools intact, About 2.3 million years before, to be quite exact. Homos after homos came and went, Until one survived; the ones that were intelligent. We're the homo sapiens, and I dare say, We evolved 400K years ago and still exist today. Millions of years of evidential information, All contained in the theory of evolution. Since Pro doesn't believe in it, it's only fair to compensate, That he's never evolved and his brain's equivalent to a primate.

All members who have "Not Saying" or "No Answer" in their profile should be deleted after a week.

1. If vote bombers want to keep that account, they'll fill in the categories. 2. Income, people are embarassed if they're social status/poorness/richness sometimes. 3. You're name is not original if others are using it, if these people are truly that lazy they won't think of an original username. 4. Some information is private. People deserve private information. People are embarassed of some information and others can make themselves vote bombing targets. "Why do you need to keep your GENDER private? " If you're homosexual you might want to put interested in men but not you're gender, or vice versa. CONCLUSION: People can be embarassed of certain statistics (i. e. sexual preferences, income, education, occupation) or they might want to protect themselves from vote bombing because of things like sexual preferences, ethnicity, religion, ideology, party, and occupation. Vote bombers will randomly fill in categories if rule is passed, defeating the point of the rule.
All members who have "Not Saying" or "No Answer" in their profile should be deleted after a week.

1. No logic presented (defense stands) 2. Name one category that you would consider "Personal" that I couldn't simply find out by guessing or searching the internet. 3. Unfortunately that may be the case with such a small community as this, however as this community grows that may no longer remain the case. Adding the number simply is not an option! 4. All information is beneficial. For what reason would others choose to be "private" or so you term it. Ladies and Gentleman of the audience, my opponent is attempting to shield lazy members like himself with a sad word, and that word is "privacy". We should not allow people who feel like they must keep basic information "private" or people who are just to lazy to fill out the category on this site. Why do you need to keep your GENDER private? What purpose does that serve? You're embarrassed of your sex? This is nonsense! Do not be swayed by this excuse for laziness, this "privacy". We must eliminate these "No Answer" people!
All members who have "Not Saying" or "No Answer" in their profile should be deleted after a week.

My turn 1. Vote bombers will care if the rule is passed and take that extra 2 minutes. 2. By doing what you imply you will also elimintate many non-lazy people who want to keep things personal. 3. If the username was that original, the other person wouldn't think of it. Otherwise, adding a number is fine. 4. People have the right to keep things personal. I never realized people looked at those points that much and gained that much from it. 5. You have no proof that I'm lazy. You call me an "active member" and "active" is contradictory to "lazy", thus I am not lazy. 6. I was referencing to Big Issues list. For the categories you're talking about most of my previous arguments still stand. Some people are embarassed of their income and education. Others might not want personal information like their ethnicity, religion, and the gender they like out on the internet. It's a matter of privacy, and whay you propose would not stop vote bombing because of reasons I have already listed.
All members who have "Not Saying" or "No Answer" in their profile should be deleted after a week.

I can affirm my opponent as being an active member of this site. However I cannot affirm that he is not lazy. 1. I doubt vote bombers will even care to, as there purpose of vote bombing can and will easily be completed within a week. 2. There may always be lazy people on this site, however does my opponent imply that eliminating laziness is as bad thing? 3. Not that hard, but yet the originality of a username is gone. Stolen by a do nothing think nothing member of this site who takes up bandwidth, clogging this site with useless and outdated information. 4. It absolutely does, knowing the background of anyone can help you understand where they're coming from and thus how to defeat them easily. 5. Read my first sentence. 6. Anyone who spends a minimal amount of time on this site knows what every category is. Perhaps my opponent is referencing the "Big issues" list. I was merely referring to the Education, Income, etc. not the big issues. Perhaps I was not clear enough.
All members who have "Not Saying" or "No Answer" in their profile should be deleted after a week.

As anyone can see by viewing my profile I have a handful of "not saying" or "no answer" categories. You may also see that I have been quite active on this site. I'm a debater, I comment, and I vote. I'm quite experienced and I don't vote on things I don't know about or don't understand. 1. Vote bombers will just take the extra 2 minutes to fill these categories out randomly if this rule is passed. 2. There's always going to be lazy people on this site. Most of these "lazy" voters are actually just biased voters and since you can't get rid of bias, you can't get rid of these "lazy" people. 3. Add a 1 or 2 after your name, it's not that hard. 4. It doesn't matter who you're actually debating. Who they are shouldn't affect how you debate. 5. Read my first paragraph. 6. Not everyone knows about every category and randomly putting down answers doesn't help anyone. 7. People shouldn't be required to know every category. No characters left, more points next round. Good luck
All members who have "Not Saying" or "No Answer" in their profile should be deleted after a week.

I'm gonna throw it out there. I believe anyone with "not saying" and "no answer" in their profiles should be promptly (after a week or so) deleted from this site. Reasons and Supporting Evidence 1. Vote bombers and those with multiple accounts typically are too lazy to fill these simple categories out. 2. Lazy people on this site will only clog it up with the votes of the lazy. 3. Screennames are being taken up by these unoriginal users who are lazy. 4. Fellow debaters cannot get an idea of who they are actually debating. 5. Most members with "Not Saying" or "No answer" filled out for all their categories rarely engage in debate. If they're not debaters why are they here? To comment? To vote? I'd rather only have experienced debaters vote in my debates. To wrap up this debate, I'd like this challenge to come from a "No Answer", "Not Saying" member of this community. I bet they'll be to lazy to click the accept button.
Agender is an acceptable identification

Looks like it's time for the closing arguments. Time to make this one count. You're right, I am judging. But I'm not trying to offend. That's all I have to say about that. And my argument about the table is something I stand by. Just because I identify as something doesn't make me that thing. If I were to say I was a trigender (which is a real thing) that would be insane. There are two genders. Male and female. You can mix and match them all you want, but there is no more than that. Being trigender would require a third gender, which does not exist. Being agender is just as weird. The things that I identify as agender are just that: things. I would say a robot is agender, not a person. I can't go up to a person and call them an 'it'. And there is no gender to talk about. Agender is the absence of one. I can't specify a gender if there is none. And thank you for being in this debate.
Agender is an acceptable identification

I wasn't hating. Calling actions illogical IS judging. Anyway, while some may choose to be both, many choose neuter. By the, using hermaphrodites as an argument was a bad choice, for a reason I pointed out but that you didn't: one part doesn't work. You also use a strange argument. These people aren't doing the equivalent of identifying as a table, they are merely expressing their inner turmoil, something we, as traditional representations of our sexes, can never understand. Also, why did you post this debate without specifying a gender? Makes it harder to argue...
Agender is an acceptable identification

First of all on the subject of hermaphrodites. They have a just reason for identifying as both. They have the 'parts' of both men and women, and it is not the absence of a gender. I'm talking about having no gender, not two. Second of all, I'm not here to judge people. I'm here to debate. I'm not saying it's WRONG to be agender, I'm saying it's illogical. This is a site to fight opinions, not to hate.
Christians in the US are not oppressed

Oppression is defined as the state of being subject to unjust treatment or control. I will be working to prove two of the words that definition: unjust and control. Oppression has nothing to do with being the majority, or for being eager to share their message with you. A Pew Research Group study found that across the world, mostly in countries that are strong allies with the US, a majority of their populations are not allowed to practice Christianity. Now, I know that we are debating about the US, but we can see that regardless of a strong majority, it is possible to be oppressed. Now, moving on to my opponent's second argument, there are no statistics nor warrants to justify his(or her) claims, but I won't attack just that. They say that there is a reason for "hating" these Christians for wanting Intelligent Design in schools. Now, this is not what we are debating, but the theory of evolution is scientifically accurate, but it does not discount the existence of a God. There is no reason both evolution and a God can coexist, only that humans were not made from nothing. There was not much substance to these arguments, so I don't have a lot to attack. http://cnsnews.com...
Christians in the US are not oppressed

Before mentioning anything, I would like to note that I am not trying to attack Christianity. I am only referring to the few who complain about being oppressed. Now without furder ado, I shall present all my arguments.1. Christianity is the dominant religion in the USA (and the world) s://truthinmediablog.files.wordpress.com...; alt="" />Christianity is the most popular religion in the USA and that is a well known fact. Christians can not be oppressed because they are the majority. Non-religious people tend to be the main people attacking Christianity which only makes up 16% of the US. And not all non-religious people try to blame Christians for being dumb and closed minded. Even so, Christians still outnumber them by a lot. People in the US can go against Christians and blame them for being close minded if they like. However, Christians are all around them, churches are more common than resteraunts. Forced Christianity?The Christians who tend to complain about being oppressed shove Christianity down people's throats. They claim "They are spreading the word of god and saving people from hell." But what they are really doing are being hypocrits shoving Christianity down people's throats.Many of these Christians tend to also dis-believe in Evolution and possibly other scientific ideas. Christians who complain about being oppressed usually want Creationism/Intelligent Design taught in schools. They are then hated on for wanting Intelligent Design taught in schools for a reason. Evolution is well known as a FACT to current scientific understanding. I do not have much time left so I would like to wrap up my arguments here.
