text: Not only do extracurriculars help reduce stress in students, but they also help improve time management skills. Time management is a very important skill for kids not only in school but also for their lives in the future, and extracurriculars are a great way to teach them. When students have school on top of sports and other activities, they have less time to get everything done during the day. This causes students to learn ways to get their work done as soon as possible and fit everything into a small amount of time. Students with good time management skills tend to perform better in school because they never procrastinate on studying or homework. Many studies have been done on students who take extracurriculars compared to students who don't, and the results have shown that most students with extracurriculars have higher grades. If more kids took extracurriculars outside of school, they would improve their grades as a result of improving their time management skills.
