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.

In my opinion, I believe school attendance should be mandatory. However, if an individual doesn't want to attend, and make something out of their life, there is nothing you can say or do until they, themselves choose to want to. The school systems shouldn't be too concerned about those who refuse to go, rather than those who are prompt, and ready to learn. Education is an important factor in how well our society works together and whether or not we will stay afloat as one. It's importance should be constantly stressed to each generation, because with out it, our nation will be fighting for first class spots around the trash can fire for warmth.
