Each Wednesday classes end at 1:00 and for the last hour and
twenty minutes of school the students hold a debate which they must conduct in
English. Apparently debating skills are
very highly valued here in Tanzania. The
resolve this week was that multi-party political systems are better than mono-party
systems. The opposition won (but most of
the points are awarded for things like English use, grammar, and presentation-
not having hands in pockets, etc.). Students
moderate, keep time, and record; they run the entire thing! It was so fun to
see the students work so hard together at something!
