Rebuttal Vocabulary Builder

Transitional words and phrases like these help you bring variety to your rebuttals.

Example Rebuttals

Here are some examples for you. First, a couple of simple, straightforward ones:

Point: The government should stop funding charter schools because public schools need the money more.

Rebuttal: The government must make sure our whole population is well educated. Our future depends on it. Diversity and difference are important for achieving this. Families should be able to choose a school that best suits their children. By assisting with the cost of charter schools the government makes this possible.

Point: Athletes who take drugs should be banned for life because they’re bad role models.

Rebuttal: Why does being a role model have anything to do with it? Do we sack anyone else for being a bad role model? We are holding elite athletes to an old-fashioned ideal. It’s just not the way the world works.
