Simple argument topics for class debate?

Hey y'all, I'm looking for some simple argument topics for a class debate in my English class. I want something engaging and relevant to high school students. Any suggestions?

Hi there! It's always fun to have engaging topics for a class debate. Here are a few ideas that might be interesting and relevant to high school students:

1. School uniforms: Should schools require students to wear uniforms, or should they be allowed to wear whatever they want?

2. Standardized testing: Is standardized testing an effective way to measure student learning, or should schools use alternative assessment methods?

3. Cell phones in class: Should cell phone use be allowed during class time, with certain restrictions, or should they be banned altogether?

4. Homework: Should the amount of homework assigned to students be reduced, or is homework necessary for reinforcing learning and teaching time management?

5. Online learning: Is online learning as effective as traditional classroom learning, or should schools focus on in-person instruction?

6. Extracurriculars: Should extracurricular activities be mandatory for students to participate in, or should they be optional and only taken on if a student has interest?

7. School start times: Should schools start later in the day to accommodate teens' biological sleep patterns, or should they maintain traditional early start times?

These topics are relevant to the high school experience and should spark some interesting debates among your classmates. Good luck!
