text: Students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity because they will be off your phone screen. Yes, we all like binge watching our favorite shows, but it has to come to an end at some point in the day for us to be able to do our work and hang out with friends. When you stay after school you're not on your phone, scrolling down social media to see what your friends are doing. You are with your friends and talking to them. You may not notice it, but over time, your vision will get worse from staying on your phone for too long. So, when you stay after school, and your phone is packed away in your backpack, that helps your health. If join an after school club you will be more aware to your surroundings, and not stuck to your phone.
