text: Of course, like any plan for schools or elsewhere, it isn't perfect. There's many things someone could say as to why they disagree with the principal's choice, but, it benefits the majority of people. Now this doesn't mean that there are no good counterclaims to this decision because there are. A good amount of students don't do any extracurricular activities because they just don't have the time or means to participate. A student may not have the money to buy all the personal equipment they need for a sport, or the transportation to and from the activity, or they simply have too much on their plate, like babysitting a younger sibling. A good solution to these issues is to have it discussed with a guidance counselor to find a way to fix these problems. They could find a way for the school to help pay for them to participate in a sport or they could help find someone to carpool with. if no solution can be find though, then the student should be allowed to exempt from participation if there is no other solution.
