Discussion #11 ≪Group A≫

Issue: Should we make 24-hour childcare center?
I (Angelina Miller) was a moderator. Laura Addy, Mac Jason agreed with the issue. On the other hand, Belle Waterfall, Tama Homer and Jack Bauer disagreed with it.

These days, double-income family is increasing. However, there are no day-care center where baby-sit kids during the night in Apollon.

【 Supporters 】

Laura  :  She said that both she and her husband work since night until morning; It’s a big problem for them to where to send their children while they work. There are a lot of parents who can’t look after their children at night, especially, fatherless family or motherless family.

Mac  :  He said that both he and his wife also work since night until morning. He worried about people who have no parents to depend on because parents live a distance away and so on. He disagrees with employing baby-sitter instead of 24-hour childcare center because he worries about that baby-sitter cause crimes.

【 Opponents 】

Belle  :  She said that 24-hour childcare center is hard to be admitted by the government. If the government can't help, they have to pay a lot of money.

Jack  :  He said that he has a child but he has parents who look after his child, so it’s not necessary for him. He thinks that if he has to get to take care of his children, he takes safety of children more seriously than money.

Tama  :   She said that it’s very dangerous to rely on children to the childcare workers. You can totally trust them.

Conclusion

We suggest that citizen of Apollon make 24-hour child care center, and the government should reconsider budget in order to give aid to them.

 

Comment

I was a moderator, so I didn’t say my opinion.

I agree that we make 24-hour childcare center, because there are a lot of parents who work at night and have no one to depend on, especially, fatherless family or motherless family as Laura said. Moreover, single father or mother has to leave one child at somewhere when another child gets sick.

Discussion #9 ≪Group C≫

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


Moderator was Sara Cooper.

Isabera Horan, Emily Thoma and Lucy Walter agreed with the issue.
On the other hand, Ashley Turner and Sophie Dawson disagreed with it.
If IOC(=International Olympic Committee) allows, we can invite the Olympic in Apollon.

【 Supporters 】

Isabera  :  She said that she wants to join the Olympics as a cheerleader. She also said that young people are interested in it, so it makes students' motivation up.

Emily  :  She said that we decided to associate with other countries last time, so the Olympics is a big chance to advertise Apollon to other countries.

Lucy  :  She said that the Olympics is good for economic and tourism, and we can expect to improve the image of Apollon.

【 Opponents 】

Ashley  :   She said that hosting the Olympic requires huge place; there is no big space in Apollon.

Sophie  :  She said that we have no large space in Apllon and no much money; she worried about places and costs.


Conclusion

We can hold smaller festival than the Olympic and take them in the SunFlower Festival.
For example, we'll hold the marathon on last Saturday in July.
