text: The students make their own decisions based on what they want to do with their school lives. Principles and teachers do not get to tell students what they think students should do with our time. Schools staff should respect kids wishes about school activities, and students should just have to focus on passing their classes. School activities do look good on collage applications, but depending on what grade students are in they should be focusing more on school, and not what school activities they should do. The principle should not be worrying about whether or not students are doing activities or not. Kids just want to get their homework or classwork done with and not have to worry about the schools activities.
