College Students Should Be Allowed To Skip Classes

Regulation Handbook says no. However, in my opinion, college students should have the right to do so. It is necessary here to state the purpose of students attending classes. They do this to gain more knowledge and skills. In most cases, going to classes is a very good and irreplaceable way for students to obtain knowledge. In some cases, however, students can benefit more if they skip certain classes. Some do so because they are not in the mood for classes at that special moment; some do so because they need sleep that provides them with necessary energy for more important things later in the day; some do so because they do something else that they can only do at that particular time. Of course, if they are not very familiar with the content of the missed class, they should make up for it. There is another case, though not very common, that the whole course or part of it is improper or just too simple for some students or many. Then they should be able to skip some classes. Another important reason why college students can skip classes is that they are mature. Almost all of them are more than 18 years old. They have formed the sense of judgment and know what is good or bad for themselves. They know for what and for whom they are studying, and they can judge reasonably whether they should skip or not skip a particular class under particular circumstances. The world today has to era of “knowledge explosion”. Mountains of useful knowledge and information are waiting for young students to know or master. They cannot afford seeing their hours flowing away with nothing accomplished. If they feel it a waste of time going to certain classes, why must they attend them? Learning useful things and doing things that can benefit them most should be the guideline in students’ studies. All in all, college students should have the right to skip classes.
