Strongest Subject in School

Debate, of course. Of the non-electives, probably history. Always been rather good at biology for some reason as well. My worst is math. English and French are somewhere in the middle.

I wish we had debate at my school I got a 77 on my last geometry test, which is the highest grade I have gotten all year in that class.

It's actually kinda surprising that you don't. South Florida tends to be very debate-heavy; top schools are Nova, Western, University School, and American Heritage

I did policy debate in 9th/10th grade, but honestly, I wasn't that interested in policy because the issues weren't exactly hot-button and the debates were more about your pre-prepared evidence than anything else.  Next year I'll probably do LD or PFD debate which seem more interesting.

Politically, our debate team is a mixed bag, but it definitely leans liberal, with several conservatives, including one rock-ribbed conservative Republican atheist (quite rare) who loves to bash Al Gore. 

Policy has always been... odd... I've done Congress and have experimented with PFD, both of which seem a lot more like actual debate than policy is.

Our debate team breaks down by event; LD kids are definitely more liberal, the policy kids are more Obama-backing than anything, PFD kids seem center-left overall, and Congress is the most conservative event (at least one or two conservatives and two libertarians, myself included).
