Well, I'm just glad

it all worked out in the end.

Actually, I don't think it worked out.

I think Lona deserved it.

And that's what makes you

such a great mom.

We should all feel that way

about our kids, right?

No, I think the fact

that she's the school's

only three-time state qualifier

makes her the best choice.

Well, sometimes we just gotta let

the system work, don't we?

It's good to see you, uh, Amy.

Good luck to your daughter.

It's not about luck, Julia.

Hello, I'm Bennett.

- Hey, nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

All right, it's time. My name is Zach.

I'm gonna be your judge

for today's debate.

As previously assigned,

Hemlock Prep is gonna be arguing

for the affirmative

and Western for the negative.

- Any questions?

- How's Princeton?

It's going great. Thanks, Lona.

How are you?

I'm just glad you're judging

and not sitting over there.

All right, you're up.

Is anyone not ready?

I affirm the costs of a college education

are outweighed by the benefits.

As of 2011, student loan debt and credit

card debt topped one trillion dollars...

In the evidence previously mentioned,

the numbers suggest that we...

That is why you must vote aff.

Is anyone not ready?

I negate that the costs of

a college education outweigh the benefits.

...has effectively become the threshold

for middle class and family income.

In 1970 almost 60%

of high school graduates, um,

were in middle school

but that number plummeted...

That's why you must vote neg.

I'm voting with the affirmative,

Hemlock Prep.

Is anyone not ready?

I negate the costs of a college education

outweigh the benefits.

One:
during times of economic depression

college educations are vital.

Given the uncertain nature of the economy

a college education can function

as an insurance policy.

First, the demand for college degrees

is rising.

Getting a college education

is more important than ever.

...significant amount of gains associated

with higher lifetime earnings.

If people have more money in their pockets

they're able to spend that money...

The labor report we provided predicts

job openings will soon increase

as the Baby Boomer generation

continues to retire.

Therefore, we should encourage

college graduation

to ensure people have enough

disposable income

to contribute to national

and global economies.

A college education remains

the best option...

And that is why you must vote neg.

Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to the awards ceremony

of the 51st Annual Classic.

These are some of the biggest statuettes

I've ever seen.

And we did that on purpose.

Okay, I have a stupid question.

- There are no stupid questions.

- Just stupid people.
