text: Firstly, students might not have enough time. Homework is a big part of schools. Many classes give out large projects that take students hours to finish. By adding a mandatory extracurricular, it can shorten their time to do homework. This can cause them not to get enough sleep. Also, some students may participate in other activities outside of school. Such as, having a job or pre-payed activities. A lot of students baby sit, or dog sit to earn some of their own money. Hardly anybody will give up this opportunity of being able to earn their own money at this age. Finally, some students may have family commitments. Family traditions are common amongst the variety of diverse students. Many cannot miss these functions. Getting these students to participate is very hard, since they almost would never be able to make it. Even though some students may want to come, their parents wont let them attend because of these family traditions or commitments. Another example of a family commitment is having a responsibility at home. For example some kids might have to wash the dishes every Wednesday, or fold the laundry every Monday. If they have homework and chores to do, plus somewhere to go after school, it will add up. Students can become stressed. In conclusion, students might not have enough time.
