text: Some students are not in good standing and need to be focused on their school work. One of the things I have always been told when I am on a school sports team is that if my grades are not good I will not be able to practice or compete. If the school made every student do extracurricular activities you might be breaking their own rule if a student is failing a class. If the school wants everyone to be able to do these activities they need to make time for all students to catch up on their school work. Grades are important things that will motivate members to work hard so they can keep doing their activities.
