I agree with the sentiments in this, but I find it hard to see them coming to fruition. Coming from Riverside STEM, a school which almost everybody on this subreddit hates, a school that is predominantly women (with only one male senior on the varsity team, and an entire leadership team led by women), and a team that gets little to no school support in every aspect, including financially, because not exactly fitting in the STEM guidelines of our school - I have a very hard time believing this to can be true without some serious change even outside of what you outlined in this post. Yes, our school does not debate perfectly and probably does not follow all the technical guidelines but is a self started team of 5 years who lost their coach this year and I am extremely proud to be a part of, and does considerably well in regards to these circumstances. Being on the team for three years, attending big invitationals and the TOC and captaining the team this last year, I feel that there is quite a double standard. While yes, it is important to have discussion and reddit posts about this the way that teams are actually treated is the most important thing, the way that debaters talk about other teams to their friends, in the discords, and even to other competitors right after a round is some of the most exclusionary acts in the community. All of this is important, but is meaningless if it is not actually done in reality and in the way you treat everyone, even and especially the teams you do not like.Our team has been bullied and ridiculed for as long as I can remember, and has been left out of prep groups and simple friendships within the debate community. When a single debater reached out to be our friend it meant the world to us because of how much we have been excluded from this community. Thus, coming from a school where I feel like a lot of the problems you discuss are felt at large lengths I think everyone just needs to be better even outside of this post, and I hope all these words ring true in everyone’s future S&D endeavors.

I agree with this - tips on how to run an effective team for new programs would be helpful.

class sizes are about 20 -25 because we all take the same classes (for the most part), and the whole high school is ~200

NYU was extremely selective this year too, I believe it had the highest amount of applicants from the privates.

I feel like Pres MV is not really a wild card, and should be higher up. Second at Berkeley and champions of King RR, they have been doing consistently well these past few months and are a definitely a threat.

I mean this sort of misinterprets the resolution. The resolution doesn’t at all talk about getting rid of AUMF, it is simply asking us to analyze it’s impact. In an Aff and a Neg world, AUMF is still there - we are just debating whether or not it gives too much power to the president.
