We must make school uniform

Moderator  : Allie

Paneler : Carol, Hnna, Kofy, Finnian, Lucus

Before the discussion

Carol (agree) : school uniform is very formal, so children can wear it as official wear in official ocasion.

Hnna (agree) : We don't have to take time for choosing clothing, and use the time for a lot of things to do.

Kofy (agree) : Students don't have to chose clothes every day, and school uniform makes feeling of corpotating.

Finnian (disagree) : In most of all another countries which introduce school uniform, girls wear skirt. But I don't want to wear skirt, and I wat to wear clothes to move easily. We should choose clothes which we really wear.

Lucus (disagree) : School uniform is useless. Also we have to spend much money.


In the discussion

Carol : We buy uniform only just once time in the beggininf of the term. So we don't have to worry about the cost so much.

Hanna : Comparing the total cost of clothes in every day with school uniform, uniform is inexpensiver.

Finnian : I want to wash clothes everyday, but if we wear school uniform, it will difficult.


Allie : How do you think about no-time for chosing clothes?

Fnnian : We can chose what we wear at night in the day before.

Hanna : It's maybe difficult for some people, because I took a lot of time for chosing clothes when I was a student. Students hould concentrate on their study.


Allie :  How do you think that girls have to wear skirt, agree side?

Carol : Students will get used to wear skirt, because they wear every day.

Kofy : Students don't move hardly at school.

Finnian : When I was a erementary school student, I often played soccor in lunch time. If school uniform is introduced in each school, students have to change their clothes, and it's troublesome.

Carol : Students can learn how to coporate and make solitality.


Allie : How do you think about personality?

Carol : Students shouldn't show their personality in their appear, should in their character.


Lucus : I have a suggestion, how about maing school badge? Student will not often lose and show their personality by wearing clothes what they want to wear.

Kofy : It's good idea, and each school can make diffirent design.

Finnian, Kofy, Hanna, Carol, agreed the idea.

Conclusion

We make the school badge and don't make school uniform.

My comment
 
In the discussion, any person commented their opinion or asked some questions actively. I could understand well what they want to say, so therefore each side didn't quite give up. In such time, the middle idea is important. Compromise someimes made good idea. Lucus idea was great, I though.
Also paleners had good background and confidence in their opinion. So they made me often satisfied. I enjoyed this discussion.

We must introduce rental system of textbook instead of free of charge.

Moderator : Ashley

Paneler : Lucy, Emily, Isabela, Sopie, Sara


Before the discussion

Lucy (disagree) : Students can't write memo or draw line. Also they can't check their textbook at their home and they can't carry them.

Emily (disagree) : When I was a student, I wrote important part on the my textbook and it&s good for me. So I disagree with the topic.

Isabela (disagree) : Students listen carefully to what teachers saying to make memo, so if they don't have their textbooks, they will not concentrate on their study.

Sophie (agree) : Every year school have to prepare many textbook for students and the cost is so big. If we introduce rental system, we can cut and save money.

Sara (agree) : Preparing textbook for students every year costs a lot. If we introduce rental system, we can use the money that we saved for more high quality tools or textbook.


In the discussion

Ashley : How do you think about cost of textbooks now?

Emily : This cost is important for education of children and in our future.

Sophie : But if we can use the saved money for PC, more confortable class rooms, and so on.


Lucy : What is the main purpose of the system?

Sara (I) : School make students concentrate on study and listen to carefully.

Lucy : The main purpose of both of agree and disagree sides are same, and rental system has some good points. How abot introduce traial period?


Conclusion
We introduce traial period of this system. And if we get good date and we regart rental system as good, we will change the low.


My comment

This discussion was last for our group as panels.  My classmates often said that I spoke small voice and they couldn't catch. I tried to care about it in this discussion, though I may often talk little voice when I didn't have confidence in my opinion or the accuracy. In addition to any member should tell their opinion crearly, but it was difficult. Still paneler should make concretely background and people include  the audience should listen to carefuly and understand, then take the floor actively, I felt through discussions.

Teachers shouldn't give any homework to students.

Moderator : Rie
Paneler : Anna, Rachel, Kate, Alex


Before the discussion

Anna (agree) : Without homework, students can have time for their study of what they don't understand. They can spend their time effectively.

Rachel (agree) : Free time of students less cause of their homework.

Kate (disagree) : I disagree with the topic of two reasons. First, students don't study willingly at home. Second, I think in order to realize dreams of students, they should do their homework.

Alex (disagree) : Homework helps student what they have learned, so teacher should give homework to students.


In the discussion

Alex : Anna, you said that students can spend their time effectively without their homework. But I don't think so. Children may play game or hang out with their friend after school. Why do you think so?

Anna : Because students can't study enough at their classes. If they have week point in their study, they should study at home. If they don't have to do homework, they can use their time for their study.

Alex : It's important to give homework to level up for students. By doing homework, they can check their level and know that they understand or not. Students need homework for their study.

Rachel : I think it's possible without homework.


Finnian : Please tell me the grades of the students on the topic.

Rie : High school students.

Robert : Are you just recommend or make the rule that teacher can't give homework to their students?

Rie : Just recommendation.

Lucus : Teachers of elementary school and junior high school should teach how to study.

Alex : Yeah, I hope so. If they do so, students will understand how to study.



Conclusion

Teachers must not give homework to high school students.


My comment

 I felt that this group need more detail background. Especially, they should defined the grade of study on this topic. Because some panelers thought it as elementary school students, and others did as junior high school or high school. If the definition was obscure, sometimes the content of this discussion for each person. This topic is difficult, though I could think about what is study, so I enjoyed.
I regard study as what for every students, so teacher should teach with adapting students who are not good at studying. Of course high level students can get more high quality homework, if they ask their teacher. Though teacher should not give up on their poor students absolutely.
