All Teens Everywhere (A.T.E.)

By: Dallas Youth Commission
  • Summary

  • We're like your elected officials, but teenagers. And you don't elect us. So we're not really elected officials. By listening to A.T.E., you'll get an inside look into the Dallas Youth Commission, a group of 15 teens that works with the City of Dallas to improve the lives of all teens in the city.

    In this podcast, we address a range of topics, from the struggles of higher education to current events that are crucial for teens to know about. If it affects teens in some way, we cover it! We feel that it is crucial for teens in Dallas, as well as teens everywhere, to be informed about the issues they face. It is more harmful than helpful to be sheltered from tough or "controversial" topics, and the A.T.E. hosts help break those barriers by bringing teen voices into "difficult" conversations.

    Are Co-Ed or Single-Gender Schools Better for Teen Development? A Debate

    In this special debate episode, we discuss the pros and cons of co-educational and single-gender schools and how they impact teenager development. With three guests on each side, we'll hear perspectives on which model provides a more nurturing environment for teens navigating changes and growing into young adults.

    The single-gender side will argue these schools build stronger comradery by bringing together students facing similar issues. They'll examine how single-gender settings reduce stereotypical gender dynamics that can be distracting. The co-ed side will counter that modeling real-world inclusion is vital, and overcoming challenges in co-ed schools builds essential life skills. Tune in as we hear more about the developmental impacts from debaters on both sides of this complex issue.
