text: Extracurricular activities are activities that are supposed to be extra. Having to require that all students do one, is taking away the definition of the word. Activities should be done of free will, not by force. Students may be stressed having to do something that they did not want to do or do not even care about. Extracurricular activities are out there for people who want to do them, not for those who do not want to. Students participating in something that do not enjoy or care about, is apathy. They do not care about the activity which causes a negative aura around those who do care about the activity.
