text: The extracurricular activities keeps kids engaged and involved in their school community. It keeps them busy and moving around it doesn't leave them time to sit around and get in trouble. With the extracurricular activities kids wouldn't go home and have nothing to do. It also keeps their brain engaged and thinking. Kids would be learning something new and interesting everyday. They could learn a new sport and stay active at the same time. Many kids these days just go home and sit around, that isn't good for their health they need to be moving around at this age. Extracurricular actives could also teach valuable skills and lessons like how to work in a team or how to take responsibility for actions or people. These are very important skills in life,and it is very hard to teach those skills in a classroom but it is a lot easier to do on a sports field or in a extraculiclar activity.
