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.
