Motion: THS the human rights ordinance for students
<Opposition>
Tell themotion: We are debating on the motion of “This house supports the human rightsordinance for students.”
REBUTTAL
Status quo: Therewas an article in 조선 daily, which was about the schoolwhere no punishment exist. Teachers only could scold to students who misbehave.Right now in the status quo, government is claiming to have point deductionsystem instead of punishment. This system simply means to deduct such amount ofpoints every time when the student misbehaves. However, as the school’s case onthe newspaper, this replaced system is too irresponsible and has a lot ofparadoxes. A few students got out of control and started to ruin classenvironment, every time, by chatting with others, or not concentrating inclass. Even with teacher’s scold, some students tend to ignore it. As a result,because of tiredness, a few teachers resigned from the school and even somestudents moved schools that they thought the class condition was too bad. Whatwe strongly believe is that students who actually misbehave will misbehavewhatever the punishment is. In this case, because of the human rights forstudents, government is giving them more opportunity to do whatever they want,much freely, which is making schools’ environment worse, that not onlyinfluences badly to other students but also destroys teachers’ authority.
Justification: 1. Human right for students is destroyingwhole schools.
2. The freedom and basic rights doexist unless you do not harm others.
3. Human rights ordinance forstudents is violating majority students’ human rights.
Team stance:The constitutional rights in students’ school setting may not be equal to thoseothers’ counterparts.
Team split: Me,as a leader of opposition, I will present two arguments about ‘True way of keepingstudents’ rights’ and ‘Violation of schools’ purpose’. And our proud deputyleader of opposition will present our last argument about ‘Giving too mushfreedoms to teenagers can effect badly on forming ego’.
Argument #1:True way of keeping students’ right. The human rights for students claims totreat students as same as adults, who are in real society. Giving them everyhuman rights; right not to get punish or right to speak out whatever they wantto say etc. Theoretically, it seems right but when we actually apply this lawinto real world, it will bring out huge side effects, which are actuallyhappening in schools right now. The biggest side effect that was been seriouslyissued is that some students are distorting and counterploting the law againstteachers. As I suggested in the status quo, just a few, three or four, studentsin each class destroys the class environment. And they are the ones who usuallyget punished. In this case, the human right for students protects those troublemakers’ rights. Even they misbehave; teachers can only scold them or deductpoints which those students do not even care about. Due to concern of thegovernment, it becomes much easier for those trouble makers to ruin class. Noone can deny this because these facts are the things that are really happeningoutside in the society. How can we protect other majority of students’ rightwho really want to study? Because of some students who counterplot the law, howcan we protect others? Is this law the true way of keeping students’ rights?Absolutely not; human rights for students is just a law which claims to sacrificemajority of students to protect some bad students’ rights.
Argument #2:Violation of schools’ purpose. As I claimed in our first argument, the law is protectingtrouble makers’ rights. And they not only influence other students badly, butalso, they are violating teachers’ authority, by law, which is serious.Spanking is the strongest authority which teachers used to have, to teachstudents. Spank, usually hitting, has the important symbolic meanings. Firstly,it gives a strong message that if you ruin the class environment, you will get physicalpain. Secondly, by the pain, teacher can get rid of the impeditive elements, rightaway, that can protect the class environment from getting ruined. Teachers usedto have this authority to do their roles more efficiently. But now, because ofthe human rights for students’, it’s gone. So, let’s look at the situation inschools. Nowadays, some students are getting out control and ruins whole class’senvironment. Teachers do not have any strong powers to regulate those troublemakers anymore. And, as because teachers have lost their powers, teacherscannot fulfill their roles well. Not fulfilling roles means that they cannotteach. And if teachers’ cannot teach, then it’s violating the schools’ purpose.Ladies and gentlemen, what we strongly believe is that the human rights forstudents, which made students out of control, is the main cause that triggersto destroy schools’ purpose, by taking away teacher’s authority, powers toregulate students.
