School Can be Made Attractive
In informal talks many college students say attendance felt predetermined, with families disappointed if they stayed away and few strong reasons to attend. High school views mirror this, seeing school as a sentence to serve. Law or family pressure may release a student at 16 or after a diploma, but the push is not a personal choice. Educators seek challenging courses, but positive motivation for embracing the school program remains lacking.
Public schools and the community duty to educate
The text argues that students view school as an opportunity, citing Florida examples of extracurriculars and credit courses. It stresses the public bears responsibility for school quality, since schools can only do what the public authorizes and funds. When schools meet needs well, it reflects community demand.
