ReplyDeleteSchool attendance should and always be mandatory to all students that are willing to comply with the rules and get the education they need to make it out into the real world. Education is what we all need in order to be able to function in life and do what we really want to set our minds to. Without education, everyone around us would be doing crazy, selfish things that wouldn't even matter because we'd be too uneducated to even know what the consequences of the situation really are. It's the only thing that is keeping us & our next upcoming generations smart and efficient for their turn to be able to postively change the world.
