text: Another reason why students should not be forced to do an extracurricular activity is because their family might not be able to take them everyday. Their guardians have to take time out of their own day to drive their kid to a place that might be a far distance from their home. It also might cause their parents to have to leave work early or hire someone to drive them, both affecting their paycheck. The students could carpool but there's a big chance that you won't know anyone doing the same activity as you. No matter what, whoever is driving you will still have to pay for gas. Since the principal is requiring students to participate in an extracurricular activity they should offer transportation, but since they are not it really leaves you no choice but to figure it out on your own.
