text: Some students have plans after school. If the principle forced them to do extra curricular activities they couldn't do it. Everyone cares about their social life. If they didn't go, their social life could be hurt. Nobody wants to miss hanging out with their friends. If they keep missing these their plans they could get a reputation for not showing up for things. Nobody wants to be late for something they care about. People should be able to do things outside of school. Besides if students don't show up for their classes, the school would just be wasting the teachers time. Everyone should be able to do the things they want without being in school.
