Topic: We must make school uniform.




agree side:)
Carol Smith: School uniform is formal, and students can wear it on official occasions. Moreover it is symbol of each school, so we can know which school is by seeing it.




Hanna Marin: Students don't have to have a time to choose school uniform if we make it. In the morning, they are so busy, so that 's important.
Also they can unite by wearing it.




Kofy Keita: If we make school uniform, students don't have to choose clothes everyday. And they can cooperate each other by wearing it, that is important.




disagree side:)
Finnian Lee: If we make school uniform, girl have to wear only skirt. So girlls can't play a lot. It makes their movement limit, that is not good.




Lucus Arden: If we make school uniform, students must spend much money for it.




Questions and Answer:)
1. What do you think about money we must pay for school uniform?
---> We must have a little bit time to pay for it, one time after entering school, so not so expensive.
--->Unless we make it, we must need  a lot of clothes everyday , that is more expensive that school uniform.
--->We want to wash school uniform everyday, but if we make it, we can't do.




2. Without school uniform, we can get free time by choosing clothes last night.   ----> But not all students can do.




3. School uniform are trouble to play for them.
--->Uniform was made in simple way, so not trouble like you said.


4.Girls must wear only skirt.
---> Even if they don't like it, they will get used to wear it.


5.Uniform can make their personality lose.
--->We need it to study how to cooporate each other .


6. In case of big family, their totall cost will be so big.
--->They can wear hands me downs.


7. Every time students grow up, they must buy new one.
--->From first , we have to make a little bit bigger uniform.
 Clothes is also same thing to that.


8.What is any problems without uniform?
---> when crime and accident happen, if they wear it, we can get information about student from uniform.


9.About personality
--->Student tend to judge from appearance, so they can see their character easily if  everyone wear same clothes , uniform.


10. Suddenly making uniform is difficult, so at first we should make school batch or rain coat. Two things are lower than uniform.


Conclusion:)
We make school batch, don't make uniform.


My comment:) When I had weared from elementary school to high school, for 12years. In fact uniform is useful and good for students I think. When I think what uniform's role is,  it is for learn to observe the rules. There are many rules in society, and we must observe that. And if  students wear uniform, they can get cooperative spirit a littile bit. That is important for students.

discussion 1.22

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

disagree side:)
Lucy: If we introduce it, they will have some problems. For examples they can't bring out textbook at home, and draw under line to inportant points. So they can't study enough because of it.

Emiliy: Maybe some students wanna write some important points on textbooks. So if we introuce it, they don't come to write that.

Izabella: If we introduce it, they can't take a note and bring out textbooks at home. And teachers often says 'Take a note". So we shouldn't introduce it.

agree side:)
Sofy: Totall costs of textbooks will be so big. Some students are not afford to buy textbooks.

Sara: Cost of that is so big. And each school can get more high quality textbooks. Moreover they can forget that at home.

Questions and Answers.

Q1.What do you think about cost of it?
--->they should pay that by themselves in the future.
--->If we introduce it, they can save money, and we can give them more confortable place to study, buy computer, so like this we can use the money in other ways.

Q2. Why do you think more students can go to school if we introduce it?
--->At first, she thought we have to buy textbooks by ourselves, so she cancels that.

Q3 Disagree side said they can't take a memo.
--->If we introduce it,  they can concentrate on study to take a memo, but we should take a more detail memo by themselves.

4.We should change and buy textbooks every time that change.

5.Why don't you want to use other people's (used) textbooks?

6.If we intoduce it, it's good for ECO. Also they can concentrate on study and listen to carefully.
--->Without textbooks, it's hard to concentrate on studying by themselves. And teachers have to copy textbooks every times, give them handout.

Conclusion
We try to introduce it at trial periods in elementary school.
If we can't do well or not, we change this system case by case to improve it.


My comment
Students tend to rely on textbooks when they study, so I think by limiting times when they can take textbooks, they can study effectively and concentrate on study. Also if we think that we will introduce it for ECO, we should introduce not rental system, but tablet. In fact,  Korea introduces it in elementary school, so we should do I think. Also I can think we should rental textbooks in one year.
By doing that, they can bring out that at home, and whenever they want to study they can study without a class.In case of they lose that, they have to compensate that.

discussion 1.15

Topic: Teachers shouldn't give any homework to students.


agree side:)
Anna Jones
If teachers don't give any homework to students, they can have free times, and can spend time effectively.


Rachel Williams:)
If teachers don't give any homework to students, they can have free time , and can play sports or play with their friends. That is important for them.


disagree side
Kate Hail:)
There are two reasons to disagree this topic. First is that teacher should give student homework to make them study at home. Second is that teachers should do to make their dream come true. So what teachers give homework them is important.


Alex Bell:)
Homework is important, because it helps student study at home, and to get ready final test.


Questions and Answers
1. If students have free time, can't they spend time effectively because there is cases which they play games at home?
--->To play games is not bad thing.
--->But is studying most impotant?
--->Student can get enough time to study in class.
--->If they can't understand in class, how can they understand?


2.At school, homework is same,but if so, students can't study effectively?
 Because their learning abilities are different.
--->It's important to review what they learned at home.
--->But they can't concentrate on what they can't understand?


3.What's grade of the students ?
--->It is high school. Becaus they should enter university.


4.Types of student who both sides speak are different.


5.Is to introduce question paper good? Because they can ask teachers what they don't understand, so can study effectively.


My comment
 First of all, what is purpose of homework? Of course, it is to have students review what they learned. But  the most important thing is to let them get into the habit of studying by themselves at home. Agree side often discussed free time, but they have a lot of free times without school. So if they have homework, we still have enough free times. Also teacher should give them homework which match their each learning abiities to study effectively.  When I was a junior high school student,  I was said to study by myself as homework by my teacher. So not all homework are same.

Topic: Should we make 24-hour childcare center?
information:)
*15% of all parents of Apollon are single parents.
*Childcare center opens from 8:00a.m to 20:00p.m.


agree side )
Mac:)
He thinks taking care of children is of course important. In Apollon, there are so many parents who work and single parent. So for them, we should make it.


Laura:)
My job is a designer, and my husband's job is pilot, so our job is not regular and sometime we have to work over night or until morning. And I cannot take care of my son all the time. Now I think my son is so poor and I want to stay with him the whole time, but it's the present situation that we can't do that. Also there are a lot of parents who cannot live without night work. Especially, fatherless family or matherless family. They can get bigger income than daytime job. So I think 24-hour childcare center plays an important part for us.


disagree side:)
Tama:)
She thinks 24-hour childcare center is dangerous. Also we can rely on grand parents without leaving our children in there. So we don't need it.


Jack:)
He can't understand why we should make it because he is rich and can take care of his children all the time.


Belle:)
She thinks it's difficult to admit from government. If we make it, we need much money, but we can't support by government easily. Also we should manage each personality with strictly.


Questions and Answers
Q1. Instead of it, can we envelop baby-sitter?
--->Baby-sitter is individual business, but 24-hour childcare center is national business. So if we employ the former, we need more cost.But of course, for single parent its cost is painful.
--->Safety is the most important even if  it cost a lot.


Q2.Do you think relying on staff?
---> Staff have license, so we don't need to worry about that.


Q3.If we make 24 hour childcare center, people will put children for more than 1 day. What do you think about that?
--->We should make rule about that, and deal with the people. For example, the longest time to put children  in there is until 2 days, like that.


Q4.Who do you think pay money to manage it?
--->the government helps the managements, or directer.


Q5. What should we do to admit from government?
---> we should get a lot of signatures.
* Government should reconsider budget, and it gives the center.
By doing that, so many parents can put their children with peace and mind, and concentrate on  working, Apollon's economy will be more better.


Conclusion:)
Citizen for Apollon make 24-hour childcare center.
Government reconsider budget in order to give them aid.


My comment:)
Recently Japan has the same problem. In fact do we need night childcare ?
Of course, the answer is yes I think.  Also the number of nuclear family is increasing, so we can't rely on grand parents easily. Now managing to work and keeping house at the same time is ordinary times. I think it 's sure that the childcare center have a lot of various problems to keep on managing, but in the world there are various occupation and home surroundings. So we should make the environment that anyone is easy to work. Working is children's welfare. Thus we need to make it.

12.11 discussion

Topic: we should prohibit students from working part-time job?


information
*some students work part-time job.
*there is no rules about part-time job in junior high school and high school students.


agree side
Finnian Lee
Students should concentrate on study or club activity at first. And if we allow them working part-time job, they will hand out with friend.


Hanna Marin
If student get money by themselves, they won't want to school. Also if we allow them part-time job, they won't obey their parents.


Kofy Keita
Firsr of all, students should study and read book. For them having time to read book in school life is important. So if we permit them park-time job, their reading time will decrease.


disagree side
Lucus Arden
Some students can go to school, but some students cannot go to school. So for students who don't have enough money to go to school, we should permit part-time job.


Allie Collins
It is not bad to work outside for students, because they can learn a lot of important things through part-time job. Also they should concentrate on study, but at the same time, they should know importance of money.


questions and answers.
1. if we permit park-time job, their time to study at home will decrease.
--->if they join club activity in school, their time will decrease so that's same thing.


2.How can we supplement time to study?
--->they can concentrate on study at short time.


3.after graduating high school, is chance to work outside good?


4.What's perpose of part-time job?
--->Some parent's income isn't high, so student should help parent's income.


Conclusion
we should make rules about part-time job.
*time----- by 10 p.m
*tipe of job---provide job by school, make job club
*age ----- all age in junior high school
also we need permission of their parents.


My comment
I think there are so many students, so of course, there are each home surroundings. So we should permit part-time job case by case. Also we should make a permit of school, according to each income we need to permit their jobs.

12.4 discussion

Topic: Can we submit a bid to host the Olympics?


agree side:)
Isabela Horan
She is a cheerleadar, so if we can hold Olympics in Apollon, she can join it as a cheering party and be famous. Also young people are interested in Olympics, so their motivation will be up.


Lucy Walter
She thinks we can make Apollon's image be good through Olympics. Also opputunity to  exchange each culture will increase, so tourist will increase.


Emily Thoma
She thinks more many people will come to Apollon, also we can advertise Apollon more and more through Olympics. Moreover by holding it, we can get many benefits.


disagree side:)
Ashley Turner
She thinks we need large place in order to hold Olympics, for example we need place that players can stay in Olympics like hotel, or gym. Therefore we need not only places but also much money.


Sophie Dawson
Firsr of all, we need huge cost to hold Olympics. Now Apollon waste both place and money. So she really worries about two points.


Question and Answers
We need huge money to hold Olympics. How do we supplement with it ?
----> we can save minimal cost.


Olympics is big chance to advertise Apollon.
---> we can get big benefit, but some Olympics suceed, some Olympics don't fail.
---> we can use exacted hotel.
--->we don't have gym or stadium.
--->if we buit stadium, we can use it for another way.


How do you cover the cost?
--->Tax.
---> if we hold not Olympics but sunflower marathon, we don't need huge cost. there are sunflower festival in Apollon, so sunflower marathon is good chance to advertise Apollon.


Conclusion
we hold sunflower marathon on sunflower festival at last Saturday on July.


My comment
I think the way of thinking about holding Olympics in Apollo is good, but in order to do, there are some necessary conditoin for us. First of all, of course money and place, also  suitable environment, convenience of traffic, and something. So I think Apollon is not suitable to hold Olympics. Olympics is the biggest event in the world, so to hold Olympics in Apollon is splendid to advertise. However that's not easy as we think.
So sunflower marathon as conclusion is good idea.

11.20 discussion

Topic: Let's make point system in Apollon.
Information:
•If people do something good for Apollon, they can get points in your card and they can use points with the card.
•Money for the system is given by the government.
•We are permitted to make the system by the government already.
•We'll make a website about the system and we'll call for volunteers.
We will discuss two points.
1. How we can collect points.
2.Where can we use them.

Jack Bauer:
He thinks Tour volunteer is good idea.
Through it, we should attend program to see Apollon.
Also we should use points for pubic transportation or change for public service.

Angelina Miller:
She thinks we should make recycled system in the system.
If we dump the trash and separate rubbish, we can get points.
Also we should use for only food or public.

Mac Jason:
He thinks if we buy something made in Apollon at shopping center , we can get points.

Tams Homer:
She thinks if we work as staffing sunflower festival, we can get points.
Sunflowers festival is important ,so we should give big points for people.

My opinion
I think if we clean in the park and street,or  separate trash , we can get points.
Also we can get Apollon's original goods and limited product by exchanging points.
Moreover we should introduce not only point-card but also point-cellphone to use the system more easier for people.



My comment
First of all, I think we should have discussed not "let's make point system in Apollon.",but "we should make point system in Apollon". Because almost people don't know why we need to make the system. I think the purpose of the system is finally to make connection with people or tourists and to develop in Apollon.  Thus this system is tool of Apollon 's development. We can get information, age, address and distinction of sex of people who use the system. And according to the information, we can provide many goods. Therefore we can develop Apollon's economy effectively and make many tourists be fan of Apollon by introducing the system.
I was really sorry not to discuss a lot. But I couldn't discuss a lot for the reasons mentioned above.
