American School of London (Junior Club) - 4th March 2026

We had some lively warm up discussions about whether it is better to be healthy or wealthy with students putting forward some interesting and philosophical ideas. We moved onto whether you should follow your talents or your dreams. It was wonderful to hear the children’s thoughts about what they would like to do for their careers. Many came to the conclusion that your dreams usually stem from your talents. 

We debated driverless cars before having a more formal debate about whether in person learning is better than online. The students spoke confidently and articulated their opinions well.
