8th Grade Diversity Dialogues By Meaghan Sullivan

On October 26 and 28, students from the 8th grade were given the opportunity to participate in Diversity Dialogues with Mrs. McCaine. They covered the topic of Civil DIscourse. Students were able to express their views on certain topics from polls with a simple raise of a hand. One of the topics was Converse vs. Vans. Student Xan Cohen was on the side of Vans, and Helen Katis was on the side of Converse. In the middle of the debate, other students joined in presenting facts and their opinions. Students thought it was fun being able to debate with other classmates in a civil way. The other debate was about phones. Everyone was on the side that teenagers should have phones, but Ryan Byrne decided to argue that teenagers should not have phones because he knew he could bring a good argument for that. Eva Veneable suggested that regular debates would help students learn to argue intelligently with each other.
