Academic texts are objective. This means that they are based on facts with solid basis. The emotions of the authors cannot be felt from texts or materials.

Writing academically will help students analyse, convey understanding, think critically and focus on technique and style.

He says abolishing compulsory-attendance laws would allow only those who are committed to getting an education to attend. Without compulsory attendance, public schools would allow only those who are committed to getting an education to attend. Without compulsory attendance, public schools would be freer to oust students whose behavior undermines the educational mission, he says. Abolition of attendance laws would produce enormous dividends for education.

The cost of enforcing compulsory education would be eliminated; communities could use savings to deal with young people not in school. Assignment
