text: That's why i believe that you as the principal should raise the average up to a B. The kids will put more effort into there work so they get the grade's they need and want . In the long run it will be better for them .I think that extracurricular activities shouldn't be forced upon students. Many students may find the extracurricular activities to be stressful, like public speaking or playing a sport. The activities can also be very time consuming, students already have lots of homework and adding a extracurricular activity could cause their grades to drop because not finishing homework or outside of school projects because they wouldn't have time for everything. The name extracurricular activity has the word extra in it, meaning that it should be a choice, not a requirement for students to do.
