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. 


As student i dont enjoy being forced to come to school and be stuck in a crowded classroom for hours and be taught things ill likely forget by the next day. It seems like im wasting my best years with a bunch of people my age that i dont even want to see. Even though i feel this way i still believe school attendance should be mandatory. All of us need to be forced to come to school for if we werent i doubt we would ever show up.  School educates us, well most of us, and helps us for our future. if we do not go to school we will not know the basic things to even get a job at mcdonalds. We all need some sort of education to make it in this world. Our nation would be affected as well if attending school wasnt mandatory. There would be even more chaos than there already is because of uneducated people who weren't taught to think forward and see the consequences their actions might bring. We need education for our lives and nation to thrive. Its pure logic.
