Feeling ridiculously proud of my eldest daughter, who gave her first debating speech ever at 3rd negative, and was magnificent! [1/2] #
I coach her team, and they won! That makes it two from two, for kids who have just started debating this year. [2/2] #
Also, am I wrong to be smug that our scrubby public school has taken down two private schools so far, both of whom were very put out.[3/2] #
Our school isn’t really scubby at all – it’s excellent – but you’d think we had a peculiar smell given the looks we have gotten. [4/2] #
I can’t count. Or maybe I don’t plan very well. Whatever. [5/2] #


Your daughters have an unfair advantage – you and M
We’ve been arguing ever since we met!
Well done. Nothing more satisfying than taking down smug private schools in a good debate.
I think is says a lot about the importance of support (and intelligence) from the parents.
Are you still the under-dogs?
