Zhang Yuki crossed her arms, her expression smug. "Fine. Let's see what you've got. The motion we're debating is about traditional versus modern education in childhood development. Give me one solid argument for traditional methods."
"Just one?" Minghao tilted her head slightly. "That seems limiting, but very well. Consider the longitudinal studies conducted by Harvard's Center on the Developing Child, which demonstrate that structured, discipline-focused educational environments, characteristic of traditional Asian educational models, correlate with superior executive function development in children aged six to twelve. The research shows that traditional methods emphasizing repetition, memorization, and hierarchical respect create neural pathways that enhance cognitive control and delayed gratification capabilities. These aren't arbitrary cultural preferences; they're pedagogical approaches with measurable neurological benefits."
The room fell silent.
