text: Most students will blow off after school activities because they know that they don't need to engage in them. If students must participate, than they would not be able to ignore them. Now even though this would not be every day, it would still be very beneficial to do extracurricular activities. Some students do multiple after school classes a week, but this can be stressful at times. That is why one activity is enough to start. Most children that participate in these are more successful in school. Extra classes is also a way to make new friends. Every principle should have every student do an extra activity after or during school.
