Oh yeah! Yayness! Huzzah! I've been waiting for this!

*composes herself*

Yes, I do compete in homeschool debate (and speech! $\:D/$ ). NCFCA it the best! This will be my fourth year in NCFCA. All you other homeschoolers out there better check it out ( http://www.ncfca.org ) You are missing out. (I may track some of you ToOers down if I'm going to be in the area for a tournament

).

Edit: heh, I know who you are goblygook! I know where you live! heh, but it took me a sec...

YOU'RE IN NCFCA???!?!??!?!?

That is SO cool! I am not in NCFCA, but I am in CCO- it seperated from NCFCA. This will be my first year debating! I am really excited!

A lot of kids who are in CCO used to be in NCFCA. $\:D/$

CCO is in Ohio right? If I'm thinking of the right group they split off a few years ago.

Yeah, I'm in NCFCA (hence my leaving every few weeks in the spring

)

OK, after having survived a heart attack when I saw the topic title, I now realize what this thread is about. Good, carry on.

Yes, Christian Communicators of Ohio.

Heh, the joys of leaving every few weeks is great! $\:D/$

I don't know if you know- but Emily Witt? *too lazy to get the link to her profile* She's in CCO as well, and I believe that she used to be in NCFCA, but I'm not certain....

Also- Carolita knows somebody that is in CCO too!!

Hmmm I'm not doing Speech and Debate right now because we're a little to busy. But dad judges it once or twice a year...

LiviNoel · Post by **LiviNoel** » Fri Sep 08, 2006 8:01 pm

No. I was going to a long time ago, but my life was to busy to devote enough time to it. But a ton of my friends were really into it. But that was many moons ago.

i really liked debate in high school. i'm curious, what were some of the issues of the debates you participated in?

Carrie Ingalls · Post by **Carrie Ingalls** » Sat Sep 09, 2006 9:18 am

I have debated the following:

Team Debate 2003-2004 Policy Resolution: Resolved: That the United States federal government should significantly change its policy toward one or more of its protectorates.

Team Debate 2004-2005 Policy Resolution: Resolved: That the United States should change its energy policy to substantially reduce its dependence on foreign oil.

Lincoln-Douglas 2005-2006 Values Resolution: Resolved: That the media's right to protect confidential sources is more important than the public's right to know.

I also timed a bunch of Team Policy rounds this past year:

Team Debate 2005-2006 Policy Resolution: Resolved: That medical malpractice law should be significantly reformed in the United States.

What topics did you debate Jasper?

YAY!! This is my first year of NCFCA I'm doing speech and LD value debate. Wouldn't it be funny of some of us knew each other, without knowing it?

I was seriously wondering myself

we could have a debate on whether people like homeschool or not....wow, that could get interesting.

It's been done.

But, of course, we all know that homeschooling is of the LUNATIC FRINGE!!!!!

That's pretty cool! I didn't know there were so many ToOer's who did debate.

I did Medical Malpractice and the current topic is Resolved: That the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) should be significantly reformed or abolished.

I don't do debate (But I will next year) I am in speech though. I had no idea that anyone else on the ToO was in NCFCA! Well, except The Artful Dodger. (she is in my club)

It would have been nice to do debate; one of the moms in our homeschool group was trying to get several of the kids into it, but it never gelled. I'm not sure how well I'd do in speaking debates; I'd rather do writing debates.
