2019 - Term 2

Cool people:

  • Tippy D
  • the story of Tippy.D is one shaped by rap and the debate class. Tippy.d was a friendly Dino only wishing to rap for children, but one day tippy (tippy.d’s) evil twin brother shunned tippy.d in front of the law. Tippy.d was arrested until a little while ago when he and tippy sang old town road together. Today you can find tippy.d on the debate classroom desk.

  • radical sandwich anarchist
  • hot dog is a sandwich
  • pop tart is a sandwich
  • taco is a sandwich
  • mock trail SUCKS
  • death is...death is... death is IRREVERSIBLE -Kyra Balllyeeet final debate
  • ‘ok so..’ ‘YEAH WELL ACTUALLY’ -Kyra and Elizabeth queen book quote that was left out of the term book :(
  • ‘global warming doesn’t exist’- Luke (not the brightest)
  • In my defense, I never said global warming didn’t exist. I said humans aren’t at the root of the problem, so therefore, it’s not worth holding back our economy and the creation of new jobs in order to combat a natural phenomenon that has happened since the beginning of time.
  • Never forget Lukes dating saga- victims include: Ella, Kyra, Elizabeth and Rhea.
  • My response to that sentence on the Dating Saga: Listen, you gotta take the L sometimes, in order to learn from your mistakes and consequently emerge as a better, smarter, wiser person.
  • Plus, at least I caught a W in the last of those 4 tries. That’s called perseverance, and only the real Rocky Balboa would know that.
  • FRISBALLERS
  • mr b and his BEAUTIFUL NAILS
  • annie can't say y'all
  • kyra and her bad eating habits at lunch of ice cream dipped in fruity pebbles and rice krispies

Passionate debate!

2015 - Term 1

First of all, shoutout to our amazing teacher and TA, Heidi Nobles and Kevin Pabst, respectively. And congrats to the ACJA! or the Alliance of Cooperation and Justice for America, or the Andrew Chris Johnny Abby Party. They bribed so many people with buttons and promises that they ultimately broke through, in addition to two winning presidential debates. How could I not put the class "rules down" either?!

1. Debate is great! (That's not debatable) (Orginially had: So Mock Trial can suck it!) 2. Daniel is quick. (Shoutout to the 4 St. Louisians!) 3. Water is wet. 4. Salsa dancing is important, unlike you. 5. It's not coffee, it's 咖啡. 6. The farther you fly, the more votes you get. 7. Ranga-ha-ti-ma-mun-go-yum-ti-rum-guy 8. Bailey is the last airbender. 9. Emotional Titanic Flute: Liek if U cri evritim 10. Prayers before pasta.

2014 - Term 2

The That's Debatable class of 2014 was hands down the best class throughout the entire campus. It involved the several octaves higher laugh of Kevin, rap battles with Jo-Z, random Youtube videos, throwing things on the ground, mutilation, sexual chair harassment (courtesy of Andy), pencil mustaches, and NO FROZEN SONGS. This year, the class was taught by Marcos Del Hierro and TA Kevin Pabst. This class often was often engaging in social justice discussions and discussed highly controversial topics ranging from gun control to LGBTQ rights to abortion. The group also held presidential campaigns which the Freedom Party won. (Because they told the second floor that there were only two parties! The Freedom Party, and THE COMMUNISTS!) This is a list of the students who were in the That's Debatable class:

  • Daniel (He really liked zombies. Him and Marcos were the main reason we heard Kevin's laugh. But a VERY weird person)
  • Maya (By far one of the best debaters in the class, friendly, sweet, extremely funny, pleasantly oppinionated, and an all around good person. Bff's with Chloe from practically first day of camp.)
  • Christina (Talked about porcupines a lot with Ariel? Talked about elephants. For 6 minutes. And thus we learned of Josie's Elephant Laugh)
  • Ariel (Gets high off of Sour Patch Kids. Very high. Liked to talk about killing porcupines with Christina? Very sweet person. Thought blonds smelled like muffins(they don't))
  • Carson (Ginger snap, yo! Good at dealing with being hyper. Drinks coke in large quantities.)
  • Kolya (Koala, vegetarian, and overall decent guy! Has freakishly long arms)
  • Andy (Guangpeng)(Andy, stop thrusting!!! Also our official time keeper from day one.)
  • Karina (Awesome debater that needs to let her hair down more often. Ships Debbie/Oliver. Funny!)
  • Grace (Eat more french fries. Amazing person!)
  • Hope (R.I.P loft bed. Wicked and Doctor Who fan. Amazing singer. Makes you happy.)
  • Chloe (Fell over in her chair in class. Laughs a WHOLE lot. Bff's with Maya since practically first day of camp.)
  • Quillan (The soy sauce is awesome. So is the 'Everything' drink. Provides charisma.)
  • Sidarth (Very outspoken. Has a "girlfriend", and does a really funny Indian accent. Also, Red Bull. Most memorable quote: "if your belly button comes untied, will your butt fall off?")
  • Arella (She played her own love interest and is amazing at delivering speeches. Very intense debater.)
  • Josie Mauer (Elephant laugh, hobo sack, and serial killer look. She will make you laugh.)
  • Olivia (Well-dressed swimmer who has her hair on point. Always. She loved the brownies)
  • Chayne (best George Bush accent in the world by far. A seemingly shy, sweet, respectful guy who needs to get over his love affair with Fox News)
