Companies should raise prices when demand weakens, not lower them.

Daily Debate #551: "Companies should raise prices when demand weakens, not lower them.". You are arguing AGAINST the motion. Your opponent: Peter Thiel.

"Totoong natututo ng pakikipagkapwa sa groupings, ngunit hindi ito garantiya na lahat ay natututo nang patas. Kapag may 'groupmate na multo,' iilan lang ang gumagawa habang ang iba ay nakikinabang sa grado. Ang indibidwal na proyekto ay mas patas dahil bawat estudyante ay responsable sa sariling gawain at tunay na nasusukat ang kanilang kakayahan at pagsisikap."

Hindi ka totally wrong pero ang puso ng debate mo ay backwards. Ang "groupmate na multo" ay *feature*, hindi bug. Real world? Lahat ng successful people ay nakadepende sa network, delegation, at collaboration. Microsoft, Apple, lahat ang outcome ng teamwork, hindi solo genius. Individual projects? Sinusukat mo lang kung gaano ka-magaling mag-memorize at mag-aral alone. Hindi yan life. Kailangan mo ng teammates na weak, strong, lazy, hardworking. Yan ang skill na kailangan mo. Ang pag-execute kasama ang imperfect people ay mas valuable kaysa pristine individual work na walang real stakes. Unfair grading ay problema ng *teacher*, hindi ng groupwork itself. Fix the assessment, not the collaboration.

Di sang-ayon "groupmate na multo"

Fair point. So grubby teachers let freeloaders slide—that's real. But your fix is wrong. Killing groupwork because grading is broken is like banning cars because some drivers suck. The problem isn't collaboration, it's accountability. Real solution: peer evaluations, individual contribution tracking, rubrics that catch free riders. Google, Tesla, every serious company uses teams AND tracks who actually pulls weight. They don't abandon teamwork because some people coast. If you eliminate groupwork to avoid grading headaches, you're teaching kids a fantasy—that success is solo. It's not. You're doing them a disservice. How do you actually measure individual effort *within* a group without just giving up on teams entirely?

Make it tagalog

Fair point. Kaya grubby teachers ang nagpapahintulot sa freeloaders—totoo yan. Pero ang solusyon mo ay mali. Pag-bawi ng groupwork dahil ang grading ay broken ay parang pag-ban sa sasakyan dahil may masasamang driver. Ang problema ay accountability, hindi collaboration. Real solution: peer evaluations, individual tracking, rubrics na nakakakuha ng free riders. Google, Tesla—lahat gumagamit ng teams pero sinusukat kung sino talaga ang gumagawa. Hindi nila sinasabing basta i-abandon na ang teamwork dahil may umuunat. Pag-tanggal mo ang groupwork para iwas hassle sa grading, nagtuturo ka ng lie—na solo ang success. Hindi. Ginagawang fool mo ang mga bata. Paano mo talaga susukatin ang individual effort *sa loob* ng grupo nang hindi lang tumitigil sa teams?
