The debaters must aim
high, see big, judge widely, thus seating them self apart from the ordinary people who debate in narrow.
With this spirit on Friday August 10, 2018 the senior learners of Grade 7 and 8 took part in the English
Debate Competition at Witty International School, Bhilwara.The
topic of the competition was ‘Too much screen time taking a toll on kids’ health.’
This house wise competition was
held in two rounds, preliminary and final. After the preliminary round 16 students were selected as
finalists from all the four houses i.e. Emerald, Ruby, Topaz and Sapphire. The
competition was judged by the worthy parents of the school Mr Arvind Vashisth,
Ms Aditi Kabra and Ms Krishna Rathi. During the debate, a healthy competitive
environment was created by Wittians. They gave their opinion on the positive
and negative effects of using too much screen gadgets like mobile, computer,
laptop etc. Students learnt that if we use these electronic gadgets in a right
manner then they will be beneficial as excess of everything is always bad. The
debate competition was very beneficial to construct the mind of students in a
right manner. Students learnt a lot from this competition because debate is
also part of learning that is ‘Learning by Arguing’. Judges and the audience
appreciated the efforts of the students. At the end honourable Vice Principal
presented vote of thanks and ended the competition with his motivational words
that good ideas and true innovations come from human interaction, arguments and
debate.
