text: I think students should not have to participate because things would be complicated. First, it makes slightly more work for the teachers. The extracurricular teachers would have an unpleasant time checking for students like a regular class would. Second, there could be a problem with some students. Since all students have an extracurricular activity, some won't even bother to do it, and they might mess around in that activity. Third, there would be more unnecessary trouble with that. It's not right to give out detentions to students who don't want to participate in something extra. Things could go wrong if all of the school's students have to join, but what about the activities?
