Classroom attendance at universities should be optional. What is your opinion? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

Participation in classes is mandatory in many countries around the world. Many people argue that

attendance

should not be mandatory, as mandatory

attendance

will make

students

feel pressured and unable to devote time to the outdoors or extra social activities. I advocate that the current education system becomes more efficient if

students

attend their lessons regularly. On the one hand, many

students

feel overwhelmed by the pressure of compulsory

attendance

and find themselves in situations where

attendance

is not beneficial to their mental health.

This

can lead to student burnout, anxiety, and depression.

Moreover

, compulsory

attendance

reduces the flexibility of

students

, limiting their ability to take breaks when they need them or prioritize other aspects of their lives.

For instance

,

students

who cannot find time for social activities and cultural activities

such

as various sports, dance, and art cannot socialize and may feel withdrawn

as a result

.

On the other hand

,

attendance

is a key factor in determining student performance. To illustrate,

students

who miss school regularly are likely to have lower grades, as they miss out on important lessons, group discussions, and assessments.

Hence

, compulsory

attendance

ensures that

students

have ample opportunities to learn and can complete their studies successfully. In conclusion, the benefits of compulsory

attendance

outweigh its disadvantages, as it ensures that all

students

have access to quality education, and improve their learning outcomes.

However

, the policy should be implemented in a way

that is

flexible and allows for breaks,

such

as sick leave and personal days to ensure that student's mental health is not compromised.
