To celebrate Book Week, students in grades 8, 9, and 10 at Casvi International American School participated in an enriching debate activity focused on a highly topical issue: whether children under 16 should have access to social media.<\/p>

The carefully organized activity divided the students into groups that were randomly assigned to defend positions for or against a given issue, regardless of their personal opinions. This format helped foster critical thinking, empathy, and the ability to argue a point. <\/p>
