Summary
This article by Roger Sipher explains how education in the United States has become very poor in quality. In his piece Sipher gives theory on how children should not be obligated to attend school. He explains that some children simply don't want to attend school and by doing so they affect those who do want to learn. According to Roger Sipher, children who do well at school will attend (even though school is optional) while those who don't wish to learn won't participate and this will cause a positive affect the children that do go to school. This law that he is trying to propose breaks up into different arguments which he believes are brilliant, but in reality children without guidance will most probably fall into problems and no one will be able to help them. During the whole article Sipher tries to prove that his theory is the way to go, while proposing for a law to become of it, but in reality he is just talking about a subject which he does not know the consequences.

Original: The solution to this problem is simple: Abolish compulsory-attendance laws and allow only those who are committed to getting an education to attend
To finish the problem of low quality education at public school's in the United States, the law which states that children are obligated to go to school should be abolished, allowing only those children who wish to learn something to attend and protect their future.
Quotation
Roger Shiper explains how public education in the United States has decreased and has given the idea that attendance at these schools should not be obligatory, so that only those who wish to learn can attend. He also explains that he doesn't want to close public schools when he says, "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 " (So That Nobody Has To Go To School If They Don't Want To, Roger Sipher, Owl Material).
