text: If a student is being taught you don't have to love the thing you're doing, what matters is you're doing it, are they really being taught the right thing? When they go to get a job that makes a lot of money but they don't really love the job they probably won't be as successful and happy but if students are taught early on that doing what you're passionate about is important, that's a whole lot more important than a random extra curricular activity that they only signed up for because they had to. Although there's plenty of benefits from doing an extra curricular, being forced to do it will make it so much less fun for students, so why not give students the choice to participate rather than forcing it.
