Students debated the prep-ahead motion: This House would make buses in New York City free; and the extemporaneous motions: This House, believes that grades in U.S. public elementary and middle schools should be Pass/ Fail, and This House, as an average middle class American adult, would go vegan.  58 volunteer judges made the day possible.
