One reason for the crisis is that present mandatory-attendance laws force many to attend school who have no wish to be there.Such children have little desire to learn and are so antagonistic to school that neither they nor more highly motivated students receive the quality education that is the birthright of every American. The solution to this problem is simple~ Abolish compulsory-attendance laws and allow only those who are committed to getting an education to attend. This will not end public education.Contrary to conventional belief,legislators enacted compulsory-attendance laws to legalize what already existed.William Landes and Lewis Solomon,economists,found little evidence that mandatory-attendance laws increased the number of children in school.They found,too,that school systems have never effectively enforced such laws,usually because of the expense involved. There is no contradiction between the assertion that compulsory attendance has had little effect on the number of children attending school and the argument that repeal would be a positive step toward improving education.Most parents want a high school education for their children.Unfortunately,compulsory attendance hampers the ability of public school officials to enforce legitimate educational and disciplinary policies and thereby make the education a good one.Private schools have no such problem.They can fail or dismiss students,knowing such students can attend public school.Without compulsory attendance,public schools would be freer to oust students whose academic or personal behavior undermines the educational mission of the institution.'
