Should Class Attendance Be Required?

Nowadays required Chinese attendance is very common at college and university. Most people think take it for granted that students should attend their classes required by school. However, still [took it out because it you're introducing an idea that wasn't mentioned previously] some anothers do not agree with this argument. They don't think it should be compulsory for students to attend class.
As for me, I am in favor of the latter opinion.The follow reasons can account for my preference. First, the rigid attendance policiy policy doesn't benefit students' studies. For example, a student may have to give up a lecture which he finds useful [not sure whether this is correct: did you mean to say that a student may give up a lecture he does NOT think is useful?] to his studies simply because he dear does [at least, I think that's what you meant!] not run the risk of being penalized for his absence in his course. Second, the lectures of some teachers are not always constructive. A student should be allowed to tell [OR: decide] for himself whether an in-class experience is worthwhile. Finally, and most importantly, there is no proven correlation between class attendance and academic performance. A student may have never been absent in a course, but who knows whether or not he is just setting sitting there daydreaming all the time?
As a college students, we should learn to make the right decisions for ourselves about whether to attend a class.
