<Carol> She thinks school uniform is very formal and students can wear them in official occasion. So she agrees with the topic.

<Hanna> She thinks that students don't have to take time to choose what they wear every morning if we adapt school uniform.

<Kofy> She also thinks that students don't have to choose clothes everyday, and it is important to cooporate with each other.


<Finnian> Girls must wear skirts in countries which has school uniform, but she doesn't want to wear a skirt because it is difficult to move.

<Lucus> Students should spend money a lot if we introduce school uniform and he thinks it wastes money.


<Allie→Agree> How do you think about money?
<Carol> Students should pay the cost just once, it isn't problem.
<Hanna> It's not so much money compered with the cost of plain clothes.

<Allie→Disagree> We can spend more free time in the morning, thanks to uniform, how do you think?
 <Lucus> Now, every students wear plain clotes and they don't think plain thy are troblesome.
<Finnian> We can choose the clotes at last night, it doesn't matter.

<Allie→Agree>How about girls who don't want to wear skirts?
<Carol> Students can get used to wear them because they will wear every weekdays.
<Kofy> They don't have oppotunities to move so much in daily life.

<Finnian> She liked playing soccer in lunch time, but we must change clothes if we adopt uniform. 

<Lucus> Wearing school uniform means losing their personalities.

<Comments>
    This meeting was last and we could get a good concensus. Both pannelists and audience talked a lot and it is important things. However I still can't understand why students come to cooporate with each other because of uniform. Anyway, I think the moderator, Allie's work was so great!Thank you for good discussion.
   

Apollon Meeting #13

Topic: We must introduce rental system of textbooks instead of free of charge.


Moderator: Ashley
Agree side: Sophie, Sara
Disagree side: Lucy, Emily, Isabera


<Lucy> She disagreeg with this topic because students can't write in their testbooks. Besides they can't study at home.

<Emily> She don't think it's good idea because she thinks it is important to write some good points or memorandum in textbooks.

<Isabera> She also disagrees with the topic because student should listen to teachers carefully. It's difficult with taking notes.


<Sophie> I agree with the idea. Now students use textbooks which are paid by our tex. It's so big cost. If we introduce the system, we can save money

<Ashley> She also agree with this topic because students tend to forget their textbooks. This system will make them not to forget.


Audience
・ If students want to change, should they buy?
     --Yes, and if they tear or make them dirty, they should pay for them.

・ Some students may not want to use textbooks that someone use it before.


<Disgree> Both sides' main porpuse is same: to make students concentrate on studying, and there are good points to introduce this rental system.



<Consensus>
We introduce the trial rental system for only elementary school.

 This meeting was last one being as a panelist, but I think I couldn't state my opinion positively so much. However we all members talked a lot and could have a better discussion compared with last meeting, I think. I should ask questions or tell my opinions in next week's meeting as an audience.
