Sample Case

TOC Junior WSD

Prepared Motion 1

This House, as parents of an academically gifted child, would choose not to grade-skip their child at any grade level.

本院认为，作为学业优秀儿童的父母，应选择在任何年级阶段都不让他们跳级。

Proposition Case

Gifted students thrive most when they are supported in their current grade, not moved ahead too quickly. As parents of an academically gifted child, we would not allow our child to skip any grade level. Instead, we would work with teachers and the school to offer more challenging and personalized learning experiences within the classroom they are already in. This might include special projects, deeper-level questions during class, or working with older students in individual subjects like math or science. The goal is to challenge the child while still allowing them to grow emotionally and socially alongside their peers. We believe that skipping a grade creates more long-term problems than it solves, and that gifted students deserve support that strengthens all parts of who they are—not just their academic side.

Argument 1: Social and emotional development must come first

Just because a child is smart does not mean they are ready for the challenges that come with being in a class full of older students. A nine-year-old might be able to do a twelve-year-old’s math, but that does not mean they are ready for twelve-year-old conversations, pressures, or friendship groups. Being the youngest in the class can make students feel small or out of place. They may struggle to make friends, feel awkward during group work, or even be bullied. This kind of isolation can lead to stress, low confidence, and mental health issues. Gifted students already feel different in many ways. Skipping a grade only increases that feeling. By staying with their age group, they can build stronger friendships and learn the social skills that matter just as much in life as academic performance.

Argument 2: Deep learning is better than fast learning

Many parents think that if their child is ahead, skipping a grade will keep them from getting bored. But skipping ahead often means missing out on foundational skills in other subjects. A student may be great at reading but not yet ready for the writing assignments or group discussions that older students are expected to handle. Skipping a grade might also mean rushing through ideas that deserve more time and thought. Education should not just be about finishing early. It should be about building deep understanding, learning to think critically, and developing strong habits for the future. These goals are better achieved by offering enrichment and advanced work within the same grade, not by moving the child ahead too quickly.

Argument 3: Staying in grade builds leadership and confidence

When gifted students stay with their peers, they often become leaders in the classroom. They help other students, lead group projects, and are seen as role models. This boosts their confidence and helps them practice leadership skills, like communication and teamwork. If they skip a grade, they may go from being one of the strongest students in the class to being the youngest and most unsure. This can make them feel less confident or less willing to speak up. By staying in grade, they can grow into leadership roles that prepare them not just for academic success, but for real-life success as well. Gifted children deserve support that respects both their talents and their age.

Prepared Motion 2

This house opposes the culture of toxic positivity.

本院反对有害正能量文化。

Proposition Case

We believe that a culture which silences difficult emotions and forces fake happiness causes real harm to individuals and society. We define "opposing the culture of toxic positivity" as a societal shift in attitudes, not a government policy. This includes schools, workplaces, media, and everyday relationships. Our side supports encouraging emotional honesty rather than pressuring people to smile through serious pain or stress. We would discourage messaging like "good vibes only" or "just stay positive" when used to shut down real emotional experiences. Instead, we promote environments—like classrooms, families, and online spaces—where people are encouraged to express sadness, stress, or anger without guilt or shame. This looks like mental health education in schools, supportive listening from peers and managers, and media that shows a full range of human emotions, not just cheerful moments. We are not saying people can never try to be positive. We are saying that positivity should not come at the cost of honesty, self-expression, or healthy coping.

Argument 1: Toxic positivity harms mental health

When people are told to always “stay positive,” they begin to believe that expressing negative emotions is wrong. They may hide feelings of sadness, stress, or grief, because they fear being judged or told they are weak. This creates internal pressure, which builds over time and often leads to breakdowns, anxiety, or depression. The culture of toxic positivity teaches people that being sad is a failure, instead of a normal response to hard situations. By opposing this culture, we make it easier for people to be honest about what they’re going through and to get the support they need. Mental health improves when people are allowed to feel what they feel without guilt.

Argument 2: It prevents real connection and empathy

When someone is struggling and they hear responses like “just stay strong” or “everything happens for a reason,” it often shuts the conversation down. They are no longer being heard. This makes them feel alone, even when others are physically present. True connection comes from listening, not forcing a silver lining. When toxic positivity dominates, people are less likely to open up, and their relationships become more shallow. By opposing this culture, we make space for deeper friendships, stronger support systems, and a more honest society.

Argument 3: It creates guilt and unrealistic expectations

In a culture where everyone is expected to be cheerful all the time, people start to blame themselves when they aren’t. They feel guilty for crying, stressed about being stressed, or ashamed for not being “grateful enough.” This adds a second layer of suffering to whatever they’re already going through. Not only are they facing a hard situation, but now they also feel like failures for not smiling through it. By pushing back against this culture, we help people accept their emotions without shame and learn healthier ways to cope.

This debate is not about rejecting all optimism. It is about removing pressure to pretend. A world where people can express their real emotions without fear is more supportive, more mentally healthy, and more connected. That’s why we are proud to oppose the culture of toxic positivity.
