text: Many of the students who attend this school do not realize extracurricular activities are indeed a privilege. If a student can manage both his or her school work and commit to an after school activity, then that is a perfectly suitable option. But if a student spends too much of his or her time participating in a play or a sport, they have a high chance of neglecting the homework that was assigned. So, if the student's grades are lacking, why should the school allow them to continue wasting time? Academics outweigh recreation in the school setting.
