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.

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.

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.
