The Jonathan Law Debate Club is getting ready for another year. Social Media Editor-In-Chief Zack Sulkis interviewed Advisor Mr. Evanko to go into more detail about the club and its goals for the year.

Zack Sulkis: What is the goal of Debate Club?

Mr. Evanko: In Debate Club, we debate various issues in politics, society, and education, with students being randomly assigned a perspective. We also review different types of debate formats.

ZS: What’s your favorite thing about Debate Club?

ME: My favorite thing is teaching students how to be civil and share their ideas.

ZS: What subjects does the club debate?

ME: So far, we have only debated issues in education, like whether standardized tests should be a requirement to enter college, but we are hoping to debate issues in politics and society more generally.

ZS: What is your goal for the Debate Club this year?

ME: My goal is to add to our membership and to further students’ skills in the various formats.

ZS: Why should students at Law join the Debate Club? 

ME: Students should join if they are interested in exploring perspectives other than their own or improving their public speaking and research skills.
