Moderator
was Ashley
Turner. Lucy
Walter, Emily Thoma and Isabera Horan agreed with the issue. On the
other hand, Sophie Dawson and Sara Cooper disagreed with it.
【 Supporters 】
Lucy : She said
that if we introduce rental system, children are not able to bring back text
books to home and can’t use them when they do homework. Furthermore, children can’t
draw lines on textbooks.
Emily : She
said that if we do that, children can’t write memo on textbooks; she worries
about that they can’t write anything on textbooks.
Isabera : She
said that students can’t write
important things on textbooks, and they will study hard when they
get new textbooks.
【 Opponents 】
Sophie : She said that
total cost of textbooks is so high, so some students can’t buy and they will be
not able to go to school.
Sara : She
said that some students forget textbooks, so rental system is good because all
students attend classes with textbooks. Children should write memo not on
textbooks but on note. And she thinks that if some contents of textbooks
change, we should put paper written that.
Conclusion
We
introduce trial period for elementary school. If the rental system is good for
them, we can adopt it.
I
think almost all students throw away textbooks when they graduate as Sara said,
so they should hand over textbooks to lower-grade students. For example, some
students who graduate contribute textbooks to school and students who can’t
afford to buy textbooks will be able to get textbooks. If they do so, no one
throw away textbooks and it takes good care of environment.
I think moderator, Ashley was great because she summarized
each person’s opinions, questions and answers perfectly. Thanks to her, it
was easy for us to understand what they discuss.
