One parent, Ellen, describes how her 10-year-old daughter Quinn watched a related Ted Talk, became interested in being a persuasive speaker, and connected this to wanting to persuade people to do something about the environment, and Ellen states that she feels lucky her child enrolled in the class and appreciates the teacher. Another parent, Ms. T, shares that the speech and debate class has been “an awesome experience” for her child Shaivi, noting that Shaivi has “grown, learnt and thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it,” and expresses interest in continuing with debate and speech classes or clubs in a structured way.
