should high school attendance be mandatory?

Many people especially high school students think that high school attendance shouldn't be mandatory so that they wouldn't have to go to school no more. But most of the people that are in jail don't have a high school diploma and don't get far in life because they don't have any education to find a goo job and then become criminals, so what do you think about that, should high school attendance be mandatory or not?

yes, high school attendance should be mandatory for everyone, because the more education you get the better you'll be off in life, like having a good career and making enough money. if you don't get your education you'll have a hard time finding a job or might even have to live of off unemployment or become homeless, so yes i think high school attendance should be mandatory so all of us can have a better life!

It should be mandatory, but I think that those who goof off should have to go to another school apart from those who actually want to better themselves. The kids that want to get ahead in life shouldn't have to be held back by those who consider school a big joke.

Side: yes, and why should it be?

True. People who actually want to succeed tend to get dragged down. But there is the fact that those who goof off tend to live horrible lives.

Side: yes, and why should it be?

High School should be compulsory because not that many can survive economically without a High School diploma.

Almost every school in the entire world. Attendance is really significant. No matter how you resist not to have the attendance to be made as compulsory, but the fact won't change.

Side: yes, and why should it be?

Unless you want to work in McDonald's for a living, or some other terrible job, get your diploma. It is a tool in thriving. People who drop out of high school tend to live terrible lives.

If schools they way they are now really are the best way of doing things then there is no reason why it should be mandatory. people will go on their own. If they don't, then it's not that great of a system.

Not now. Any fair anaylisis of the current public education system should send red flags everywhere. Some of these kids are better off going to one to these trade schools.

School simply is not for everyone, yet everyone is forced to go to school. Some students have stregnths in other areas and there should be a way to weed those students out and put them in a position to be viable in the job market

A high school diploma means little to nothing without real world experience and training. High school should be the focus for people who plan on advancing into college. Everyone else should be shipped off to a trade school of some sort.

Sometimes i have things to do that school gets in the way of. A lot of times students skip first period; the teachers they don't take roll b/c all athletics and band classes are first and there are so many students in each class

High school attendance shouldn't be mandatory at all, because that would just make the case worse. Adding to the argument, an animal kept inside a cage isn't happy at all, while when, it was kept free in an open environment, fulfilling its need on its own, becoming capable enough to fight with all the attacks that are made on it and most important part, this environment would let the animal understand the basic instincts of survival. Just like the case of an animal, we humans don't enjoy anything if we are bound to enjoy it under vigorous circumstances. Thus, the government should propose few educational amendments like removing any minimum attendance barrier that just is quite cruel enough to ruin any students fun-life!. Concluding to the argument, "These rules are too CRUEL to be used".

Attendance does not automatically give knowledge at all.

If student do not want to learn about some subjects that they do not interest. Student going school to sleep and do not care about teacher explanation at all, in the contrary the student just lack of the attention and will not receive anything after all. Some students going to school just to follow the rule of the school, because they afraid of being fail in exam so they have to attend the class everyday even if they do not want to.

This is the reason why we should not made high school attendance be mandatory.

On the other hands if we let them have their own freedom do what they love and passionate about their subject it will bring more knowledge to them easily.

The more they focus on their dream the more success they are so let them decide whether they have to come to sleep or come to learn what they love.
