作文范文：

Should Class Attendance Be Optional

It is really a common scene in college classroom and lectures: students are engaged in whatever they can think of except listening carefully to their teachers and reflecting actively on what is taught. For example, they are busy with sleep, playing games with the phone, communication with friends through short messages. Some students even are absent from classes.

This phenomenon is worrying and attracting a lot of discussion among the people concerned. There is an opinion that class attendance should be optional. Firstly, the students have the freedom to choose their universities, their majors, and definitely are free to choose whether or not to go to classes. Secondly, the teaching quality has a great influence on the students’ choice. Thirdly, if the students are forced to the classroom, their careless attitude hurts both the teacher who may feel his effort is not worthy and other hard-working classmates who may be distracted.

In my view, it seems plausible in theory, but the least workable in reality. In the first place, if every student has his own choice, the university will be unlikely to design the overall syllabus, and will have great difficulty in planning and managing the courses, which will do great harm to the society in the end. What’s more, respect to the teachers is a good tradition in China. Even though the students may be better than their teachers, the teachers may affect them in one way or another on their way of learning.
