text: In conclusion, activities outside of school should not be regulated by a teacher or principal, but the parents. Students need the exercise and something to look forward to after school because without that, students would be unhappy thus making the school itself become a place students dread to be. All in all, the principal must leave the policy alone and allow activities after school for anyone, no matter what the grade.All students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity. What would you say if your principal told you this. Well, I would agree with him. It may seem unreasonable at first, but there are many benefits to participating. Extracurricular activities don't have to just be sports, they could differ from clubs such as: chess club, yearbook club, art club, or any other club there is. Participating in an extracurricular activity is important because it gives you a chance to make new friends, to try something new, or simply to just get away from the house.
