text: Children all over the world participate in extracurricular group activities. For example young children in Switzerland have little after school groups called "Horts" where they eat together, clean together, finish homework together, and play together. Those "Horts" can form life-long friendships and form even closer bonds to their classmates. I think by implementing those same practices we can help future generations become even more tight knit and overall become much closer. So instead of eating alone at lunch and being sad, your child would have a much happier lunch with good friends and a much tighter knit school community. So by partaking in extracurricular activities, your child can form stronger bonds, stronger friendships, and even new friends as well.
