Should we make 24 hour child-care center?

Moderator: Angelina

Agree

Laura: Her family is double income and work over night, so she needs a 24 hour child-care center. 

Mac: Taking care of children is important. He works over night, so he needs it too. Also, he thinks the government should help it.

Disagree 

Bella: It's difficult to be admitted by government. She doesn't think the government will support it.
Jack: He has a child and lives with his grandparents. He thinks we should rely on our relatives.
Tama: It's dangerous. She thinks baby-sitting is better than child-care center.

They can't rely on child-care center's stuff. Safety is the most important.

Questions/audience
•Does the center have an age limit?
•who is the manager of this center?

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

Final comment
The good point is that they stand up when they talk. It's easier to understand their opinions. Taking care of children is important, so I think the government should support it too. If they make child-care center at each office, it will be nice to parents who works late at night.

We should prohibit students from working part-time job.

There is no age limit for working part-time job, and no support from government for education now, so they think we should make a law about it. Also, students mean junior high school students and high school ones here.

Finnian: Students need to concentrate on studying and club activity. If students want to work, they can do it after graduating.

Hanna: Studying is the most important for students. If they earn money by theirselves, they will get everything they want and won't obey to their parents.

Kofy: Students should focus on studying and reading. She is a writer and wants them to read many books in their students life. She was the one who got interested in writing when she is a student and  has gotten the job now. They get knowledge from reading. She is afraid that their studying time will decrease by working a part-time job.

Disagree
Lucus: He doesn't go to school now, because he doesn't have much money for that. He worries about children who are like him. Some work to live, so he thinks making a law is hard for them.

Allie: Working outside is a good opportunity for students to learn the importance of money and to help family's income, to make some friends.

Consensus
Junior High Schiol Students have to get permission from their parents and school when they work part-time jobs. Each school can choose from making a part-time job club or providing students part-time jobs so that they can control. All students can work, but there is a rule that they have to be home by 10pm.

Final comment
I think making a law was hard because it depends on schools or parents or students. But there were many good opinions in this discussion.

Can we submit a bid to host the Olymipc?

Agree side
Emily: If we hold the Olympic n Apollon, many people come here. They will bring us benefits. Also, it's a good oppotunity to advertise Apollon.

Isabella (I): I'm a high school student and a cheerleader. I would like to join! I think young people are interseted in Olympic, especially, sports players. If we can join and held the Olympic in Apollon, their spirit or motivarion will be up. It's good for their future. Also, they may have more interests to Apollon and other countries.

Lucy: Holding the Olympic is a good way to exchange with other countries. Also, our economy and the image of Apollon will be better.

Disagree side
Sofi: Big problems are money and places.

Ashelly: She also worries about money and places. It costs much to gather players all over the world and to build a stadium. Also, there were some evidences that some countries couldn't success and they got the red.

Opinions and Questions/Audience
1. The scale of Olympic is too big for Apollon.
2. Why don't we have a smaller event like a Sunflower Marathon?
3.Money is the bigges problem, how can we overcome that?

Consensus: We hold a Sunflower Marathon on Sunflower day.

Final Comment
We could make it to the consensus that has the points of both sides this time. The biggest problem of this topic was obviously, money. I didn't think well about how to overcome it. Main purposes of holding the Olympic in Apollon for me was to communicate with foreigners and make young people think better for Apollon and their futures. In the end, the scale got smaller than I exspected, but still I can accomplish them, so it was good. I wish I could say my opinions more clearly. Also, I want to thank to the audience for good suggestions.
