8th Grade Presidential Debate

Last week, students in Jeffrey Bartsch’s eighth grade humanities took to the debate stage as the two major-party candidates for president, former Vice President Biden, and President Donald Trump. After weeks of research and preparation, each student (those in-person and remote!) had two minutes to present their case on a number of the major issues including gun control, climate change, the economy, and COVID, followed by two minutes of back-and-forth between the candidates.
