text: A lot of kids have different interests on what they like to do. A lot of interests/hobbies arent an option in school and they shouldn't have to be forced to do one. Most kids dont have much freetime and by the schools doing this it takes away that time for a student/kid to do what they like. Yes, it's different if someone likes one of the activities provided but thats usually not the case and kids these days tend to have a lot of interests.
