text: Transportation, transportation is probably the most important reason why students should not have to do extracurricular activities. Transportation is key, this is how you arrive to the activity and depart from the activity. If a students normal way of getting to and back from school is the bus, then the student will not have a ride. This will force the student to carpool with a friend, go to daycare, or the students parent will have to cut work hours. These activities can cut into a parents jobs, which could cause the parent to lose the job or lose money. Transportation is not available for some students, which is why required extracurricular activities are a bad idea.
