text: If so, do you think it is fair? Well, I don't think it is fair, because, first of all, it takes away students' free time. After school programs not only take away free time, it also takes away time for students to do their homework and schoolwork. Secondly, if you have an upcoming test, and you don't have time to study if you want to get to bed at a decent hour, then you shouldn't have to do an after school program, otherwise, your activity should be canceled. Like, for instance, if you have an SOL the next day and you attend your after school activity because it wasn't called off, then you might not get the sleep you need for the test because you got home late, and couldn't study. It's good to have a fresh mind when you wake up in the morning, as well as a good breakfast.
