Another Point of View--Compulsory Education, Not Compulsory

Everhart, Robert B.

NASSP Bulletin, 60, 396, 71-6, Jan 76

This writer takes issue with the viewpoints on compulsory education expressed in the "Point-Counterpoint" section of the September 1975 issue of the NASSP Bulletin. He emphasizes the difference between the state's right to mandate a certain level of intellectual development for all its citizens, versus its current practice of mandating a minimum school exit age.
