text: The final reason why I disagree with forcing students to participate in an extracurricular activity is because it can cause stress. Extracurricular activities can add more work to a student's life which can therefore, invoke stress. Many students already have problems trying to establish their sleep schedule because of an overwhelming amount of school work. With an extracurricular activity that demands a lot of attention, it will be definitely stressful. The principal has yet again clearly not take a moment of forethought when deciding about this course of action, especially for the students working hard to meet grade requirements and studying for exams and Sols.
