THIS IS THE ARGUMENT.
School garden supporters say that the gardens teach to the whole child. One of the strongest benefits is to social and emotional learning. Research shows that schools with a social and emotional learning program can increase test scores by 11% and positive classroom behavior by 9%.

School garden opponents say that the gardens take away from academic time. As other countries’ test scores are on the rise, America’s test scores continue to lag behind. The only true way to achieve financial success is to be well educated. Opponents say that no one wants gardens banned; they just don’t think school is the place for this type of learning.

Cassius: For once upon a raw and gusty day, Caesar
said to me,"Darest thou, Cassius, now leap in with
me into this angry flood, and swim to yonder
point?" Upon the word, I plunged in and bade him
follow. So indeed he did. But Caesar cried, "Help
me, Cassius, or I sink!" (With a jealous sneer, he
points at Caesar's statue.) And this man is now be­-
come a god.

In this excerpt from Act I of Julius Caesar, Cassius tells the story of a past interaction he had with Caesar.
