text: In conclusion, I believe the principal is doing the right thing by making it a requirement for all students to be involved in an extracurricular activity. It will make a positive change in each student's overall health. They may meet close friends in their group or team. Lastly, they will learn how to be reliable and committed to others. These benefits of doing an extracurricular activity will affect every student's life (positively) and their future friendships, jobs, and careers. There are a plethora of ways to gain education these days. One common way is taking classes online. Although many students go to public school and are successful, some believe that taking online classes at home is a better alternative. Students would not benefit from attending classes online because they would be working in an unorganized setting and they would not be able to socialize with others.
