How do I start a high school debate team?
January 20th, 2009
Here is Vernetta calling:
I’m a sophomore at a high school in the Seattle Schools District, and my high school doesn’t have a debate team. I’m the first at my school to actually pursue the creation of a debate team here, but I have no idea where to start. No teacher at the school has much debate experience. I myself have little experience, and has never competed in a competition.

How do I start a debate team at my school? What do I need to learn to teach others? What about the competitions?
