text: First off, since all students have to participate in after school clubs then they can make new friends. If they see someone not talking to anyone then they can go over and introduce themselves. Students will also be able to hangout with friends they already have. This would be really awesome for kids who are shy. Having to do a club will get them out of their comfort zone and push them to make new friends. The next thing is, getting to go to these activities will keep students active and off their phones. Most adults would say students are like bears in hibernation. Once they go into their rooms they don't come out unless they need food. Now students won't be sitting inside they will be able to get out of the house. No phones will be allowed so students won't have their eyes glued to the screen for any longer than they should. This idea will also keep students thinking about other things than social media. They won't have time to worry about if their new post got more likes than their friends post. Lastly, they can learn and experience new things. In sports they can learn to cooperate with a team, and work on their sportsman ship. Having to do a club will also help students find new interests. They could do a Science club and realize how much they love it when they see something explode into a puff of air with a big popping sound, or when an experiment makes a massive sticky and disgusting mess. Having to do a club will also help students learn more about working. Instead of sitting at home having their parents do everything for them, they will learn how to do it themselves.
