text: It's a lot more reason why I could disagree with students having to participate in at least one extracurricular activity. I chose to write my top reason down because these reason could affect students in a bad way. The students having to worry about keeping their grades up, finding a ride home after school, and feeling uncomfortable are not ways that students should be feeling just because they are being pressured to participate in a extracurricular activity.      I remember when I was in 7th grade, I caught the swine flu and still remember everything vividly. It was one of the worst experiences of my life. As a result of that ungodly flu, I had to stay home from school for 2 weeks. I would say it was nice staying home for that long, but I was kind of on my bed dying during those days. It was a relief when I was finally able to go back but I was not prepared for the truckload of work I missed and would have to make up. It all took a while but I eventually caught up with all the work. It's amazing how many things go on over a span of two weeks. Someone even made up a rumor that I got hit by a bus and died. Most people surprisingly believed it, and it was a huge shock when I went back, but that's not important. Students would benefit from being able to attend classes from home because of the following reasons: it could make up for when students aren't able to go to school and it would provide mental and physical benefits. I'm sure other students have gone through what I did and can relate to the struggle of not being able to attend school and missing crucial learning days.
