I think that going to school shouldn't be optional. To me if you have the opportunity to go to a school, you should be forced to. If you didnt force, many kids would choose not to go and would probably play video games all day. At school you learn alot of things that may not seem important to kids but actually are. You learn how to work by yourself, or in teams which is reallly important too. Of course you also learn alot in school subjects that could help determine what university you want to go to, or even what domain you want to work in. Education is important and everyone should go to school.
