Some argue that all young children should be required to stay with full-time education until they are at least 18 years old. Do you agree or disagree?

Education
 is one of the cornerstones of a successful
life
. Some believe that
children
 below eighteen years should enrol in full-time study. In
this
 essay, I will explore why despite being a necessary thing, why mandating full-time
education
 for all young
children
 might have some practical implications. Early age formal schooling is undeniably a crucial aspect, as it builds a foundation for the rest of our
life
.
Children
 learn various fundamental
life
 skills and knowledge from broader areas: mathematics, science, social science, and history to name a few. Schools
also
 teach them about basic hygiene, self-organizing, time management, leadership, and teamwork through various extra-curricular activities, which are directly transferrable to real-
life
 situations.
Although
 important, mandating formal
education
 for all
children
 up to their late teenage has some practical limitations.
While
this
 might not be the problem for a society or a country, where
education
 is highly subsidized and/or parents can afford it, for a poorer community,
this
 might be out of their reach. Low-income parents without help from the government, might not be able to send their kids to school even if they want to.
On the other hand
, For many young individuals, even if a school is within their reach, prefer to pursue a creative endeavour, from an early age,
such
 as painting, sport, music, and acting.
Also
, people with no formal
education
 are doing very well in real
life
, many celebrities, politicians, and sportspersons, who received very little or no
education
 in their childhood are in well-respected positions. In conclusion, I believe formal
education
 is important and young individuals up to their late teenage should be highly encouraged to enrol in full-time academics.
However
,
this
 should not be mandatory as persons with different personal situations might not be able to comply,
due to
 their interests in other fields from an early age, and/or their financial situation. So I disagree with the idea of mandating full-time
education
 for teenagers up to eighteen.
