Moderator: Ally
Panelist: Carol, Hanna, Kofy, Finnian, and Lucus
Carol (agree): School uniform is official, so students can use it in place of wedding or funeral. And we can know which school students are.
Hanna (agree): We don't have to decide clothes every morning, so we can have more free time. And if we introduce the law, students unite and become closer with teachers and friends.
Kofy (agree): As Hanna said, we don't have to choose clothes every day, and students have conscious that they belong to the school. Moreover, students ccooperate with each other.
Finnian (disagree): If we set uniform, girls have to wear skirt, but she doesn't like skirt.
Lucus (disagree): If we introduce the law, both of school and students have to pay much money.
Moderator→agree: What do you think about Lucus's opinion?
Carol: We buy school uniform at first time, just once, so it is not expensive.
Hanna: The total cost of clothes every day is higher than uniform.
Lucus: School need money for uniforms every year.
Finnian: She wants to wash clothes every day, but it's difficult to wash uniform every day because of its material or the cost.
Moderator→disagree: What do you think about Hanna's opinion?
Finnian: We should choose clothes at last night.
Lucus: Now every students wear own clothes, so they don't think it's troublesome.
Moderator→agree: What do you think about Finnian's opinion?
Carol: Students can used to wear school uniform.
Finnian: She likes playing soccer in break time, but if she wear skirt, she have to change uniform.
Lucus→Carol: Students lost their personality, what do you think about the problem?
Carol: They can show their personality with their characters. Students study how to cooperate with each other with sense of solitality.
Sara: In case of children who have sisters or brothers, the total cost of their uniform become big.
Lucy: The size of uniform become small as children grow up.
Sophie: How do students cooperate through wearing uniform?
Robert: He completely against making school uniform, because now there is no problem. Is the image of school uniform like suit, or T-shirt and jeans?
Moderator→agree: What do you think about personality?
Kofy: People tend to have image of personality by their appearance, but if uniform is same, we can know personality by their characters.
Lucus: Some people judge their ability or character by their uniform.
Finnian: Some students wear uniform in bad way.
Kate: Student's opinion is important, so haw about take questionnaire?
Sara: Make formal and informal uniform.
Lucus: How to make school badge? It's suggestion.

All members agree with third idea.
Consensus
We make school badge and don't make school uniform.

We must introduce rental system of textbooks instead of free of charge.
Moderator: Ashley
Panelist: Lucy, Emily, Isabela, Sophie, and Sara
Lucy (disagree): There are some problems in this topic. It is important for students to draw line in their textbooks. If we introduce the rental system, students don't study enough.
Emily (disagree): It was good for her to memo on her textbooks, when she was a student. Some students want to write on textbooks.
Isabela (disagree): Drawing line and taking memo are important for students. New textbooks make students study hard.
Sophie (agree): Now, textbooks are supplemented by our taxes, so we have to pay every year. The total cost is big.
Sara (agree): The cost of textbooks is big. If we introduce the system, each schools can get higher quality textbooks. Moreover students will not forget them at home.
agree → disagree: We can save money, and use it for others Ex) make classrooms confortable, buy computers
disagree → agree: How do you think the way of using rental system?
Teachers give textbooks to their students when the class begin, and students have to give back it to teachers at the end of the class. Fifth and sixth grades of elementary school students can bring it to thier home during the test period. Junior high school students can bring it to home anytime.
Kofy: She doesn't want to use textbook which was used by others.
Carol: If students want to buy own textbook, can they buy? →Yes.
Anna: It is hard for students to study without textbooks.
Carol: The number of the students will change every year, so the textbooks will be waste. What do you think? → Students don't decrease every year.
Adavantages of the rental system: It is good for echology, students don't forget textbooks at home, students try to concentrate on each class, if they can't bring back it to home.
Conclusion
The main purpose of each side is same; they want students to concentrate on studying, so we will introduce trial period of the rental system to elementary school.
