Journal #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.

School attendance should be mandatory for all students until they reach high school. After that point, they should have the option of dropping out or continuing through high school and beyond. The only catch is if a student should choose to drop out before high school ends, they have to either find a job or train for a certain job of their choosing. This would not only weed out the unmotivated students who take valuable time away from the students who are there for there education, but it would also make sure drop-outs don't completely ruin their lives by quitting school. Education plays a vital roles in our society. For the most part, the higher educated are the higher paid and have a higher standard of living. Without education, our nation would crumple just as in the movie Idiocracy.
