This is not disguised by the use of soft temrs like 'educator' and 'entreprenueur', as most students understand these to be synonyms of 'school-master' and 'boss' (or even worse, 'banker'). But that's how these debates - and all debates - work. By the time the debate begins, the real issues have been settled.
