text: Some kids take a break when they get home and some kids go straight to homework. School work and homework take up many hours of your day, and if we participated in these activities it would add to our to do list. Many kids like to study for hours and put all their effort into school, so I imagine they would be exhausted at the end of the day. If we were forced to participate in the extracurricular activities it could take away time from our sleep, when someone doesn't get as much sleep as they usually do they don't work as hard the next day and they would not be in a good mood the next day.
