text: Secondly, the life of an adolescent does not solely revolve around school; many go through struggles in their life outside of their educations. For example, some students have jobs that allow them to provide for their families. For a struggling family, the money earned might be used to put food on the table, or pay for electricity. Forcing a student to join an extracurricular would limit their time, thus limiting their income. This requirement could hurt a student more than it helps. That is the issue with the rule, it does not account for everyone and their situations. A student might be struggling in school and need the time after school to focus, as opposed to playing soccer. The circumstances of each individual student are sometimes unknown, and hard to categorize. Consequently, expecting everyone to gain from a restricting rule such as this one is unreasonable. Students have different commitments and circumstances they live with, forcing a student into an unwanted activity is unfair to them and their families.
