text: The only reason that principals make extracurricular acitities in to set you up for the best position possible to succed. I think that it is a good thing that principles make kids try at leased one activity because there is so much to life then just school work and going to a good school. By doing extracurricular acctivities it wil l help you so much in life because they can teach you problem solving and a bunch of other things. The main three reasons principles sould have students do extracurricular activities are that they can make new friends, learn new abilities or skills and they could help you get into schools that you might be interested in going to.Some schools require summer projects to keep students learning over there summer break. Students should be allowed to design the project so they enjoy it more since the project takes place during summer break. These summer projects should be student designed because students will be more interested in the project, the grades will be higher, and it will make life easier on teachers.
