text: These activities may also not suit everybody. For example, participating in sports,working on the yearbook, and serving on the student council may not fit somebody who is a musician. Students have a full day of school and want to hangout with friends or have fun in there free time, so these activities can also make people get out their comfort zones, some people may not be very social, while maybe somebody has basketball practice 3 times a week. Not everybody has the time for these activities, I know personally I like to spend time with my parents since they're at work all day and I'm at school all day. So you might not be able to talk or connect with your family a lot. It's the students free time they should pick what to do with it. I still think if you would like to participate in these activities, why not. Although not everyone has to participate in these after-school activities. I think also kids might be getting tired and want to go home, instead of staying and waiting at school all day.
