How do I get kids to show up for debate practice, or to take chess practice more seriously?
Chess isn't all fun and games if you want to get good. And it's frustrating to go to tournaments and lose all the time, so I'd think they'd want to get better. Study. Too much like schoolwork.
At least they're showing up for chess practice. I'm getting almost nobody to debate practice. And this was their idea, too.

just make it fun, if people are enjoying themselves then theyll come back and invite their friends.
stop taking chess so seriously, play speed chess with cheap stupid prizes for the winner and wooden spoon of the week for the worst loser.
make the debates about daft topics, like what you'd take to a desert island or which president would make the best linebacker.

Why did you decide to be a teacher? (link)

because its more fun than answering telephones or working in a factory. oh, and you can travel round the world teaching in different countries.

I have been married to a man I consider my soul mate for eighteen years. We have a 5 year daughter. My father died about a year ago. My husband loved him more than his own father (who is a selfish, egotistical, non-caring male). The loss touched us all greatly. I turned to taking care of my mom (my father's dying wish) and my daughter. I didn't realize that my husband had turned to drugs. On Feb 17, 2003 he was arrested and sentenced to 15 years. His tenative release date is Oct 2013. On Valentine's day (3 days before his arrest) his present to me was a broken leg. I still love this man. He seems to have changed since he has been in jail from the letters that he sends. Ironically it will be Valentine's day before I can see him. He was never violent during the times previous to my father's death. But he built a persona of me in his mind that he seems to hang on to. 10 years is a long time to wait. I have been told by others that he will be a harder person when he gets out. I had returned to school and will get my degree in Spring of 2005. I am not sure if I should remain married to him or not. I am afraid that all the lovely words he is writing is because he is afraid of abandonment. There are a lot of other details too numerous to mention but pertinent to the situation. But because of what he has done I have lost my home, my transportation, and my life. Should I give him a second chance or not? (link)

good luck. if he's your soul-mate why didnt he tell you abou the drug problem, or atleast talk about the pain he was going through?
like the previous person says, he has everything to gain and nothing to lose and in this position he can try and manipulate you. your number one priority is to yourself and your child... think about what you want.

My best friend smokes pot. She used to do it only once a month, but she has done it 2 times this week. It's because she has started to hang out with the potheads at school. Please don't tell me to tell an adult. I know she would never talk to me again. What can I say that will convince her not to smoke so often? I tried to tell her about the consequences, but she wouldn't listen. (link)

you probably cant convince her not to do something if she wants to do it. people make many mistakes growing up, tell her that if she ever wants to talk to you you'll be there for her.
