Re:Why does attendance matter? (Score 1)

I'm terribly entertained by the fact that you continually cite the fact that high schools are "preparing" students for the great netherworld of the work-force by forcing attendance, dress code, etc, when colleges and universities, the actual birthplace of the modern workforce enforces next to none of that. Most of the university courses I took involved next to no busy work (high school is nothing but busy work.) had no dress code (you can actually attend class in the nude at several dozen unversities) and didn't take attendance. The bottom line in a university was: get your work done. Strangely, that's applied to every single salaried office position I've held since then, who'd of thought it!
