text: But some people will probably say that kids need freedom and should not be forced to do extracurricular activity. But kids with to much freedom get lazy and distracted. Students can easily get distracted by the television,video game,or phone so much that they will forget about homework or submitting that paper in and end up having failing grades. Students then sit in the house all day and do not do anything productive. And sitting around in the house all day is bad for your health. Students having free time is not a very good thing and can positive and negative at the same time.
