19. Should school attendance be mandatory? In your answer, be sure to explore what the function of education is, and what our nation would look like if the masses were less educated.

School attendance should be mandatory because when you're absent you miss out on a lot of information, quizzes, and tests(I know from experience). You fall behind, education is to help you get ahead in life and accomplish great things. Even find out jobs you can master or be an expert in. It unleashes how intelligent you are in various subjects. If our masses were less educated, everything would be chaotic and children would be even less interested in learning. Our nation would be very vulnerable.
