问题   The typical routine for most students at colleges is waking up, going to class, doing homework, and then going to sleep, periodically eating throughout the day.

答案   Should college students be allowed to skip classes?Our school regulation handbook says no. However, in my opinion, college students should have the right to do so.
  First and foremost, we should bear in mind the purpose of students’ attending classes—to gain more knowledge and skills.Generally speaking, going to classes is a good and irreplaceable way for students to obtain knowledge.However, sometimes students can benefit more if they skip certain classes, for example, when they are not in the right mood for classes at some particular moment, or when they do need some sleep that provides them with necessary energy for more important things later that day, or when they have to do something else more important at that specific time.That is to say, when students cannot learn efficiently in class,  why must they attend them?Of course, if students are not familiar with the content of the missed class, they should make up for it.
  Another reason why college students can skip classes is that some of them deem skipping class as a means of alternative education.Almost all the college students are over 18 and they have formed good sense of judgment to consider what is good and what is bad for themselves.They know for what and for whom they are studying, and they are able to make sensible decisions whether to skip a particular class or not.If they can learn better alone with a book in front of them instead of an instructor, why should they be compelled to attend the class?
  The world today witnesses the "knowledge explosion".Mountains of useful knowledge and information are waiting for young students to acquire or master, so they are in dire need of efficiency in learning. However, students are quite different intellectually—some are smarter than the others and they can learn more rapidly.On the other hand, teaching approaches adopted by teachers are usually based on the level of the average students.The smart students feel the classes no challenge at all and they don’t want to see their time flow away without enough accomplished.So if it is a waste of time for them to go to certain classes, why must they attend them?
  On all accounts, college students should have the right to skip classes, and are not to blame by colleges and teachers.
