Journal #19

19. Should school attendance be mandatory? In your answer, be sure to explore what the function of education is, and what our nation would look like if the masses were less educated.
Education is important in order for humans to be successful in life. It is the idea of "self-made man". in order to have an education people have to attend school, however if someone does not want to go to school then they should not be forced to and be allowed to drop out and go straight to working or anything else they want to do. In the United States everyone is given an education nomatter who you are or what you have done, however not everyone wants to be in school and since they are forced to attend they are more likely to fail because of the lack of good attitude towards school or support at home. Most likely there will be a higher percentage of drop outs in the United States, however they concord to dropping out. Less educated peopple would be working the less paying jobs that do not involve having an education but that is the life style they chose and so they should stick to it. Only people who actually want to be in school should attend school and go on to do bigger and greater things in life. There willl be no messing around and everybody would be serious about school. No one should be forced to do anything so therefore they should not be forced to go to school. Yes, ther would be less educated people however; if they choose to go back into school then they should always have the opportunity to do so. Though not by force.
