students attending classes

Some people believe that university students should be required to

attend classes. Others believe that going to classes should be optional

for students. Which point of view do you agree with? Use specific

reasons and details to explain your answer.

There are two points of view to this question. Some people believe that students are adults and

they have their own responsibilities. So, they should have freedom in arranging their time. Other

people think that optional attendance has a corruption effect on the educational system as a

whole. Personally, I think that this question is more complicated. First of all, many students have

already children. So, they sometimes have to skip a class or two in order to perform their

responsibilities. Second of all, many students do not have enough money for their needs and they

have to work more than other students. In this case, optional attendance is well-taken. Another

important aspect of this subject that sometimes lectures of a particular teacher may be dry and

uninteresting. I believe that it is reasonably to skip those classes and learn all by one’s self. It can

save time, so a person can spend it on a research or preparation for a coming test. From the

other side, I think that some students who does not have any responsibilities may skip classes

without any reason. They can have more time to attend clubs and parties. It has a negative affect

on their grades. So, it can result in a waste of money and time. Students may take the same

classes more than one time to meet the requirements of their program. It is a waste of money for

both a government and a family. A government will lose money because they are spent on

education and it means they are tax free. At the same time, parents will have to pay for education

of their child one more time. Another important aspect of this that students will not learn how to

arrange their time in order to have all things done on time. To summarize, I think that students

must attend classes. However, some students with children or who have excellent grades and

already work in the field of their major should be allowed to skip a particular amount of classes.
