Watching My Child Grow

The more we practiced debate in class,
the more students leaned in with curiosity and joy.
It gave me confidence that this kind of learning
could truly take root in our schools.
As I watched students change through structured debate,
I felt a deep sense of purpose.
They began to speak with clarity,
write with greater skill,
and read with intention.
Even their grades improved—
naturally, without pressure.
For parents,
there’s no greater joy
than seeing your child grow—not just taller or stronger,
but more focused, more thoughtful.
When those changes show up in their words and actions,
it’s a moment of quiet pride.
That’s what education is meant to do.
And that’s the gift of being a good parent.
