Why debate? We can make a list as long as this sheet of paper with all of the skill and benefits that debate brings to kids. But we think that Maggie, a former DebateAble students, said it up best: “Debate helps you speak in front of a group of people, learn how to look at two sides of an argument, it shows how to really grab what other people are talking about, think on your feet, keep your emotions in check, and will (surprising) increase your self confidence. Debate has changed my life.”

Why did you change from selling Site Licenses to Memberships?

• New curriculum: Every year we update, improve and add to the content of our Curriculum. Through our exposure to hundreds of kids annually, we continue to create and test new games, activities, ad lessons, and to develop innovative methods for teaching debate skills to youngsters. We learn from each other, we learn from our young debaters, and we want to be able to share that ongoing growth with you. Our Membership model allows us to do that.
• Support: Our goal is to provide you with all the tools you’ll need as a debate instructor. The additional support we’re able to offer through a Membership will empower new instructors and continue to build the confidence of more experienced coaches.
