It was a nervous week in my house as my younger brother's AS results came out yesterday. Thankfully he was happy with his results, but as usual the press don't seem to be satisfied with our students' achievements. Do you think the education system is guilty of 'dumbing down'? Or are we being unfair to today's hard-working teenagers? Check out this debate or start a new one and have your say!

There's been a bit of a focus on the dark side of the sporting world this week as we saw athletes at the Beijing Olympics being disqualified for drug use. How far has cheating become an unavoidable part of sport? This debate on the problem of 'diving' in football tackles (haha) this question by looking at the nation's favourite game.

If something in the news has got you thinking, Debatewise is the perfect place to voice your views and get others involved. If you've started a debate, why not post a link to it on facebook and get your friends to add their arguments in? Have a good weekend everyone, and happy debating!
