Can Debate class take on my speech credit?

Question

I'm in high school, and is necessary to take the communications applicacions class (speech), which is 1 semester, and you need to take it in order to graduate.

If I take debate class instead, can that count as my speech credit.????????

Answer 1

It really depends on your school, so you should probably ask your counselor. At my school you can only put debate as your speech credit if you take 3 years of debate in a row.

Answer 2

Most schools will usually allow it to replace your speech credit. But sometimes it would only count if you went on tournaments and such. It depends on the school you attend

Answer 3

Maybe you should also go and speak to the debate trainer/professor at your school, he/she can tell you about it, and what can he/she do about it.

As described before you should  check this out on your school, because some schools appreciate debate more and they allow you to do it, and even encourage it, and some just don't think as good about debate.

And if you can do it and if you get good credit for it, do it, because debate is probably the best thing you can learn in High school
