text: There are some people who just dont like do extracurricular activities and have problems doing them. a lot of people need extra help with other things and making extracurricular activities mandatory is a real big struggle for them and just makes school harder. there are plenty of people dont want to, cant or struggle with them and that's not fair to make them mandatory. Why make things harder for a big group of people just so they will do extracurricular activities. there are students who like them so make them optional.
