I think mandatory attendance in grade school is a regulation that is interesting to consider in the context of Gresham's law.
Is attendance mandatory so that the disruptive (bad) students don't drive out the good ones from attending, or does mandatory attendance create a situation that favors the bad student (by forcing them to attend) at an expense to the good student, who would have attended otherwise?
