Debate Class(Ryker, Open Specators)

English class: the only class in school that you don’t actually learn the named subject. You learn history, government, foreign policy, philosophy, debate, speech, and even mathematics sometimes. Today, for Zack, it was two of those things; debate and foreign policy.

The teacher had the bright idea of having a grouping of average students debate over current events. Zack chose the current issues involving North Korea because he did not want to have to try to make himself sound intelligent with the death penalty. He would be arguing against American intervention. He figured he would get the average patriotic and angry student to oppose him, so this would be very entertaining.

Zack would attempt to drown out the barely comprehensible attempts at debate that his fellow students made as he saw the teacher become steadily more depressed at his realization of his students’ understanding of the world.

…After about a half an hour of dreadful debate after dreadful debate, a single voice brought Zack out of his fantasy life on his own episode of Cribs and back into the his classroom. “Zack, get up you deaf ****, it’s your turn!” the teacher said bluntly. He was new to the whole ‘teaching’ experience and had little patience for stalling.

Zack got up without a sound and headed up to the front of the class with his opponent already at the front. He had not prepared for this debate at all, but felt confident that he could manage a C. In an attempt to push the debate’s beginning to someone who might know what they were talking about, he quickly acknowledged the student next to him.

“I’m feeling confident, so by all means, go ahead.” He said with a smile on his face
