Votes For Schools
Pleasekeepthediscussiongoingathome.
Remember, there's no "right" or " wrong " - The children are learning to argue for/against a position. This includes how to respectfully disagreewithsomeoneandcalmlydefendourpointofview.
Havingmeaningfuldiscussionswithyourchildrenisveryimportant. “Votes for Schools” helps your child improve their persuasive arguingskillswhilstbuildingtheirunderstandingofthecomplexities oftheworldaroundthem.
