text: Extracurricular actives are extra time added to the already long school day. Students work for a total of 6 hours and 40 minutes a day and the addition of the homework and projects with averages up to about 8 to 9 hours and day, we focus on school work. We don't need more time added to our already long and stressful day. Some students have a lot of other things going on in their personal lives outside of school. So forcing student to stay after to do dance, sports, clubs, art is a waste of time, materials, and money. Paying for the equipment to do sports, paying the teachers and janitors for staying after school hours, materials needed for the clubs. Making kids do extracurricular activities creates a ripple effect, affecting the the whole school, it being money or on people.
