text: Some students don't have time. Students are very busy with things outside of school, some play on sports teams that are not through the school, some are busy doing things at home, and others might not have parents that have time to get them to the activities and take them back home. If students were forced to do extracurricular activities at school they would not be able to promise that they would be there. If students had to do extracurricular activities the clubs and sports teams would not be able to run properly because not everyone in them would be able to show up.
