From what I've seen of high school debates, it provides very little for the observers and encourages the students to cram as many nice sounding words in a limited amount of time as possible. Maximum slogans, minimal substance.

Are you sure you watched high school debates? That sounds suspiciously like presidential debates.

High school debates are remarkable for managing to put in 5 slogans in the same amount of time a president would manage one.

That's policy/Lincoln Douglas, parliamentary debate is wildly different. From the article it sounds like having prepared topics and critics is starting to seep even into parliamentary debate. :/
