"Single Functioning Device"

When Sir Ken Robinson brought up the topic of the watch being a single functioning device, it struck me a little harder than usual because it only does one thing. While connecting that to education, there are a few things that are "out of date". One of the things that still bother me is attendance strictness in class. Students often get to class late or skip class simply because they don't want to go. Many college students want to get into their class that they have been waiting for. Perhaps it's a class that they need in order to graduate or to get enough credits for to transfer to a 4 year college. While I attend every single one of my classes, I see students coming in late or not coming to class because they don't feel like it. I think teachers should be more like back then. When a student is late or not there on the first day of class, they will be dropped. Attendance has been out of date and I think it should be renewed. Schools should be more strict as well as teachers.
