We must introduce rental system of textbooks instead of free of charge

Moderator: Ashley
Panelists: Lucy, Emily, Isabela, Sofy, Sala

Lucy: disagree
Students can't write or draw a line on the textbook. To take a memo is important for their studying at home.

Emily: disagree
When she was a student, she took a note on the textbook.  She also thinks taking notes is important to review their classes.

Isabela: Students can listen to teacher's speaking carefully by taking notes. In addition, new textbook make her want to study, so she want new one.

Sofy: agree
The total money for textbook will be so big. There are some children who can't go to school because of money. If we introduce this system, we can save the money.

Sala: agree
If we introduce this system, we don't have to worry about forgetting textbook at home. And each school can get more high quality textbook.


Question
Sofy: If we introduce this rental system, we have to pay the tax for textbook jut once!
Emily: I want to pay for children; it is important for children and our future.
Sofy: But we can say big money and we can use them for other educational tools or making classroom comfortable.

※This system will be adapted to elementary school.

Conclusion
We introduce trial periods for elementary school students, and if it good for them, we will change the law.

Comment
I think this idea was good, but as Robert said, I thought textbook was not important for elementary school students. But I thought the conclusion, trial periods, was good. Each panelist could speak their opinion, but there are some silences so the moderator Ashley should have let them speak more. However they could get their conclusion, so it was good discussion.
