text: lastly, as i have said before many of the kids have younger siblings and/or work. if school prevents the kid from picking up their siblings from the bus stop or taking care of them at home they might have many complaints from parents as to why they are doing that. many complaints leads to the school boards reviewing the reason of all the complaining and then deciding if what they are doing is really going to be a good idea. theres also a possibility that a kid might have work after school. to go to work especially in customer service you need to feel good and cheery but having not slept for hours may bash that. and what if you have to go to work straight after school and because of the after school activity you will have to call in and tell them you cant go which might not sit well with your parents.
