text: If they are trained to study hard and play sports at the same time, it will pay off because they will have to get organized and pay attention to time management. This is very important in High school and College because time management and organization will get you good grades. I strongly recommend that you enforce this rule. Just watch the events unfold when you enforce it. There grades will rise and eventually they will be accustomed to all the hard work they put in. Education is everything and will shape your life, while sports is just an extracurricular activity that might or might not get you an Athletic scholarship.Would you rather go home and rest after a long day at school, or have to stay at school for a couple more crucial hours? School is already very tiring and having to do an extra activity would not be very fun. Students should not be forced to participate in at least one extracurricular activity because it limits outside school activities, it is mentally and physically draining for both students and teachers, and it causes extra funding.
