Debate

Lukas participated in his first Challenge II debate on Friday. He was on the affirmative side, resolving that the State of New York should Ban Homeschooling. Needless to say, he had to do a lot of research to find credible sources that would affirm this position. It led to interesting conversations about worldview and how it impacts what we read and how statistics are frequently presented in a way to make a case more compelling even when the facts do not back up the assertion.

He and his teammates scored the win for the debate, and as his Mama, I am glad it was not for real. We are still a pro-homeschooling family and grateful for the freedoms we have to choose an educational path that fits our family.
