Thirteenth discussion

Topic "We must introduce rental system of textbooks instead of free of charge."
The moderator was Ashley.

Disagree side: Lucy, Emily and Isabera
Agree side: Sophie and Sara

Lucy
She worried that students can't write in the textbook and bring them to their houses. Drawing line is very important thing. Because of this, they don't have enought time to study.

Emily
She also diagreed with this topic. Taking memo is very good for students. And they can write some important thing on their textbook directly.

Isabera
As other panelists said, she also worried they can't memo on the textbook. Besides, as for her, new textbooks make her study hard. So having their own textbook is good.

Sophie
She agreed with this topic. Some students can't go to school because of money and the totak cost of textbook is very big. So if we adopt this system, the number of students who can go to school will increase.

Sara
She also agreed with it. The cost of textbook is big and each school can choose more high quality textbook. Besides, they will not forget to bring the textbook from their house.

Emily: I want to pay for children. This is important for our future, too.
Sophie: But if we save the money, it makes classroom more comfortable to study.

Ashley: What do you think about disagree side opinion?
Sara: They should memo on their notebook instead of textbook.

Isabera: How do you think about how to use this system? For example, teachers give the textbook to students when the semester begins.
Sophie: Students should keep themselves until the end of semester.

<Question and answer>
Belle: Textbooks are changed frequently, what do you do for this?
Sara: If the change is small, we put some paper on it.

Kofy: If the textbook is broken or teard, what do you do?
Sara and Sophie: They have to pay to repair.

Sophie suggest better idea than before. Teachers give textbook to students at the beginning of class and then students give back to them at the end of the class. They can bring back to home during test periods. They are too young to control their textbook.

Sara: Junior high school students can bring back to home freely. If we adopt this idea, it's good for eco, too.

<Conclusion>
We introduce trial period for elementary school. If the rental system is good for them, we can adopt it.

I think this discussion went on smoothly. But I felt the chance to speak opinion for disagree side was less than agree side. But totally, each panelists had good opinion, so it was good. Last week, I was absent from this class because of influenza. I really felt sorry for same group members.
