If kids have to go to their extra activities they will either end up not doing their chores or rushing through them and not getting them done well. Also research has shown that there are more families in the United States today that have pets than there are that don't. If kids have these extracurricular activities then when are they going to find the time to take care of their pets. These are just a few more reasons why I disagree with this decision.
