I believe that school attendance should be mandatory, however, I also believe that our education system in the United States should include more variety in the ways we educate our youth. Not everyone is made out to be successful in their education because of the way it is structured. There are many people who are still productive members of society who did not receive a high school diploma. I think that education should only be mandatory up to the eighth grade, because by then people know whether they are cut out for school or not. Requiring people to remain in high school against their will, for an education that they are interested in receiving produces more failure as a result. If it is completely mandatory for everyone, there should be multiple forms of education that are less mainstream and more vocational, to appeal to people who are interested in specific trade such as auto mechanics, computer repair, heating and air repair, and carpentry.
