text: First of all, students that don't participate in extracurricular activities do it for a reason. They might not have the time to participate in the activities between all their schoolwork and chores at home. They might have a lot of work from school because they take harder courses and their parents would expect them to do their chores. They might not be interested at what's being offered at their school because they have other unique interests and even if they were interested in the activities, they might not care about the activities because it's not going to be helpful for them and it is just going to consume and waste their time.
