text: In conclusion, limited freedom, different situations, and low interest in activities are reasons why the requirement of after school activities should not be forced upon students. A mandatory extracurricular takes away the choices and independence given to students. Because all circumstances are different, it would not be right to require all students to spend their time on unnecessary activities. Lastly, interest cannot be born from nothing; an uninteresting activity to a student would be irritating to him or her and those around them. The ability to chose what one does with their time is an important skill for life; students must learn for themselves what interests them and how they personally benefit from their decisions.It is proven that 65% of people in the U.S benefit from advice of others. When people give you advice you expect it to be useful and something you would do and benefit from. Some people may not be the right person to look for when it comes to advice. I think that seeking advice from multiple opinions can help someone make a better choice because you get different perspectives, you know better for the future, and your friends know whats right and wrong for you.
