text: Here are the final reasons why, you should not need to take a extracurricular activity to pass the school year. Taking a extracurricular activity can overload some students. First it can make the student do too much work, because some students are going for a advanced diploma and if they had to do a extracurricular activity that would pile on top of the student making him or her do too much work. Second some student might have other activities to do out side of school so that would just stop them from doing what they enjoy after school. Third it may also make students miss out on certain events that happen every couple of years, like for say you wanted to go to a concert that a band was doing and that was there last concert that they will ever do, you would really want to go, but as long as you have a extracurricular activity you might not be able to go and watch the performance in person. Those were the final reasons why should not need to take a extracurricular activity to pass the school year.
