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.

I couldn't work well as a moderator. It was hard for me to get panelist's opinions in shape. Panelists supported me well, so I appreciate for them. Audience's opinions also helped our discussion. Thank you.
