So That Nobody Has To Go To School If They Don't Want To
Quoting, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing
Quoting: By opening this essay with "One reason for the crisis is that present mandatory-attendance laws force many to attend school who have no wish to be there.", Roger Sipher gets directly to his main point and expresses his opinion greatly.
Paraphrasing: "Ask high school teachers if recalcitrant students learn anything of value. Ask teachers if these students do any homework. Quite the contrary, these students know they will be passed from grade to grade until they are old enough to quit or until, as is more likely, they receive a high school diploma. At the point when students could legally quit, most choose to remain since they know they are likely to be allowed to graduate whether they do acceptable work or not." Students who feel obligated to attend school simply don't put any effort in school tasks. The whole point of attending school is getting a diploma, to get later on in life a work or something worth for living. The worst thing of all is that teachers in general know about what the kids ar doing.
Summarizing: By presenting different arguments, Roger Sipher tries to explain how obligating kids to attend school, only makes things harder and makes society decline.
