If students don't have to do homework, they can spend time more effectively. For example, they can study what they couldn't understand in class. And, they can go to bed earlier, so they will not fall asleep in class.
Studying by themselves at home is better than doing homework because they can concentrate on what they couldn't understand in class.
・Rachel
They can have more free time. She thinks it is important for them. They can play sports, and play with their friends.
Their academic ability is different, so homework is not good for them.
Opinions of disagree side:
・Kate
She worries about that they will not do study at home.
She thinks studying is most important thing for them.
・Alex
She has a son. She thinks parents can know what their children study at school by homework.
She worries about that they will play a game if they aren't given any homework.
Opinions and questions of audiences:
・What grade is the students in?
・Is the topic a recommendation or a rule?
→ The topic is about high school students and it is a rule.
Our topic is "Teachers mustn't give any homework to high school students."
・High school students will be able to study by themselves, so homework is not needed for them.
→ Alex and I agreed with the opinion.
Conclusion: High school students mustn't have any assignment because they can study by own.
I think our discussion is not good because we couldn't know each panelists' opinion well and we didn't confirm that each panelists agree with the conclusion. I couldn't say my opinion concisely, so I ate up time that other panelists said their opinion.

We ate up time in vain, that's toooo bad. I think the reason why this time was bad is not to use time effectively because of the topic's instability. So we must learn the characteristic of good discussion more and more...
