Group B's panel discussion 4

Theme: We must make school uniform

Moderator: Allie
Panelists: Carol, Hanna, Kofy, Finnian, Lucus

Opinions by agree side
Carol: School uniform is formal, and students can wear it in official occasion. And also, se can know which schools students belong to.
Hanna: If we adopt school uniform, students don't take time to choose clothes, because they are so busy in the morning. Moreover, they can be close with friends or teachers by wearing it.
Kofy: Students don't have to choose clothes every day. And also, they will come to be conscious that they belong to their own school. It's important for them to cooperate with others.

Opinions by disagree side
Finnian: If students wear school uniform, girls have to wear skirts, and they can't move well.
Lucus: Students must spend much money on them. It is useless.

About cost
Carol: They don't have to buy clothes many times like plain clothes.
Hanna: The total cost are lower than plain clothes.

Allie: What do you think about Finnian's idea?
Kofy: I think students don't move well in daily life, so it doesn't matter.
Carol: They should get used to it.
Finnian: But, I liked playing soccer, and it was troublesome to change clothes.

Question from audience
Sara: If we introduce this system, big families have to pay much money on school uniforms.
Carol: They can wear uniforms used by their siblings.

Lucy: Students grows up every year, so what do you think about that?
Hanna: They can buy a bigger one.

Robert: According to my teacher, uniform means sameness. What is the meaning of uniform?
Agreeside: Like British uniform.

About personality
Kofy: Students wear same uniforms, so they are easy to see people's character than their appearance.
Lucus: I think people may have prejudice. For example, they judge their ability or personality.
Finnian: I'm afraid that students tend to make their skirts' strength short.

Kate: How about asking to parents or teachers through a questionnaire.
Carol: That's a good idea.

Sara: Why don't you make both school uniform, formal and informal.
Hanna: It is a good idea.

Lucus: How about making school budge? We want to give them to students for free.
Kofy: It costs less money than school uniform, so it sounds good.
Hanna: Actually, I want to make uniform in the future, but now I agree with your idea.
Carol: It is easy to make budge, so it is a good idea.

Conclusion:
We make the school budge, and don't make school uniform.

My opinion:
I could not apply to the questions or opinions accurately. I feel sorry about that. And also, I should have spoken loudly. To overcome this, I need to acquire the skill of speaking with cofidence. It seems to take much time, though. Anyway, thanks to all of you, we can reach a good conclusion.
