text: To being with, having to do one extracurricular activity would be terrible if a student had planned to do something before hand. Lets say you had plans to go out with a group of friends to have ice cream,and since your principal has made everyone do an activity you went with softball or some kind of sport. Your team has practice the same day you made plans with your friends and now you have to choose between the two, your friends or practice for the big game coming up. Having to do a extracurricular activity would be unfair for that simple reason.
