Which Team (Sy, Alan, Elsie and Kelly) and Michael Jackson Team (Michael, Judith and Grace) debated on the topic of ' Chinese education is better than American education.' Which Team is on the affirmative side and Michael Jackson Team opposes this opinion.
Which Team thought that American education focused on the development of creativity, which is really important for our career, our future and many other things. On the other side, Chinese education is focusing on the scores and that's bad for our creativity. In their conclusion, there was a very strong point. They asked affirmative side a question which is 'Why they can to US High School if they think Chinese education system is better than American education system?' According to Michael Jackson Team‘s opinion, Chinese education can spread basic knowledge better than American education can. The strongest point was that they have many solid statistics to support their opinion, for instance, the PISA. There‘s no doubt that Chinese score is way better than American.
As the moderator of this debate, I think both sides‘ team work is good because they spoke evenly.
The other debate is between UNO Team (Carter, Carina, Bod and Lydia) and Anonymous Team (Hugo, Yuki and Gene) about 'Should plagiarism be allowed in school?'. UNO was the affirmative while Anonymous was against them. UNO thought that during plagiarizing, people still can accept knowledge because they need to think about the things they plagiarized. According to UNO, plagiarism is not the same as copying. When people are plagiarizing, they need to think about it to make some difference to distinguish with the original one.
According to Anonymous, plagiarism is totally not acceptable because it will lose the meaning of doing homework if people just copy other people's work. Homework is for reviewing in order to help us learn better and remember knowledge for longer time. Plagiarism will makes people becoming machines- copy, printing machines.
