text: Making kids participate in extracurricular activities could make them more active, but the student could have enough work to handle as it is. There are very many students around the globe who are very stressed about school. Adding activities that they have to prepare for and worry about could just add to their torment. A hardworking honor student that gets three packets of homework every night, will not have time to practice for volleyball, or prepare a speech for their school's student council. Perhaps there is a student who does their best but is not excelled at learning. to understand and pass his classes he might have to take extra time on homework. Maybe he has a tutor that he goes to after school to help him with difficult subjects. That student would not have much time to do anything but work if he had three hours of baseball practice when he got home.
