text: the only time kids get to actually be by themselves is out of school and to pressure a kid into doing an after school activity and waste their time would make them grow a hatred for school and would cause them to go less just so they wouldnt have to stay after school. one of the main things schools strive to get out of kids is good attendance so they can learn but to have them be forced into extracurricular activities might cause a dent in their attendance. it will end up being a bad idea because many kids will not do the extracurricular activities given and if the principal is that set on making kids participate on those activities he will probably have to set some rules for example if you dont go you will have Saturday school or detention but maybe the kid had to rush home because of an important matter. making every single student participate in an activity will cause them to lash out even more and make it more difficult on the schools faculty. the schools hope that by putting a kid into an extracurricular activity it will make them learn to love it but having a kid be forced to do something they dont want to do is going to automatically make them hate the activity and the person forcing them to do it. for them to hate the activity will make them not want to participate and eventually they will begin to be insubordinate.
