Answer 1

Answer:

No, it shouldn't be made optional.

Explanation:

I would like to contradict my fellow opposition in this topic with following points.

1) It will eradicate the seriousness of going to schools.

2) Studies will not be taken seriously in classes.

3) Teachers will also be relaxed and hence their teaching standards would deteriorate. This can lead to bad performance by students.

4) Parents will be annoyed and distressed to see their money wasted as they are paying for school basic infrastructure and amenities.

5) It will morally make a impression on students mind that they don't need classes and they can do whatever they want from home. Hence they will be abolishing the mentor ship which they will get in schools.

Answer 2

Answer:

In my opinion, attendance in school should not be made optional.

Explanation:

1. Making school attendance optional will increase the number of school dropouts among students who do not have a zeal for education. It will encourage those who see no point in education to leave school because attendance is up to them this will also lead to increased illiteracy levels.
2. Making school attendance optional will also lead to poor performance by students because they will miss classes because they are optional and therefore not acquire the required appropriate content to perform exceptionally in their exams.
3. Making school attendance optional will remove the seriousness from the education sector because some people may deem education as unnecessary because it is optional.
4. Making school attendance optional may also cause some parents to take advantage of their children not being in school and send them to work so as to generate more income for the family and also not pay school and tuition fee because school attendance is optional this will also lead to increased cases of child labor
5. Making school attendance optional may cause lack of organisation in schools because there will be a lack of forum where everyone partaking the school activities are present even the schools staff.
6. School attendance should be compulsory in order to maintain a constant curriculum because if school was made optional then there would be no point in developing a curriculum.
7. School attendance should not be made optional in order to enhance accountability by the schools, the patents and even the learners.
8. Making school attendance optional will lead to increased crime rates because an idle mind is the devils workshop and when learners are nit in school learning they may forma habit of engaging in harmful and dangerous behavior.
9. Making school attendance optional will kill social platforms created by schools and learning opportunities by schools because not many learners will be willing to engage in social and learning activities and interact with others.
10. Making school activities optional will encourage laziness from learners and teachers because none is under pressure to perform and produce results thus poor performance from both parties.
