Sherman Joseph Alexie Jr. (born on October 7,1966) is a writer, poet, filmmaker, and occasional comedian. Most of his writing describes his life as a Native American. Unfortunately, he was born with hydrocephalus, which caused his to suffer from seizures throughout his childhood. Later in his life, Alexie decided to leave his reservation to attend Reardan High School, which helped him get a better education and start his writing career.

Mandatory Attendance

I strongly agree that school attendance is very important and should be mandatory in every school. The reason why is because not only does it give schools more money for the students‘ materials and school environment, it also lets students learn more because they would not be missing any days of school or any assignments. School is meant to educate the students and prepare them for the following years of school; therefore, the more educated someone is, the smarter they become and the greater success they will have in life. This means that if we have a larger number of stronger educated individuals, then that means that we will have the right people doing the jobs that help everyone; however, this means that there will also be a lot of competition for a certain job.
Today, since school attendance is not necessarily mandatory, there are more and more students that are held back or do not attend college because they do not show up to school. This sometimes makes students fail classes because of missing work they did not make up and some just do not care for school anymore; however, it seems like those students do not think of the future and what they will become in the future.
