text: This is the reason that i believe students without a lower grade than a B average should be able to participate in school activities .Extracurricular activities can be the thing that a student looks forward to doing that day, counting down the hours and minutes until school ends. They are a great place to interact with others and develop an interest or skill, where lasting friendships can be made outside of a student's normal social circles. The students have a greater control over how things are run, providing kids the chance to step into leadership roles. However, they are not for everyone. Students should not be required to participate in at least one extracurricular activity because the school could not cover the wide range of interests students have, would waste time that students need, and would ruin the experiences of other people participating in the activity.
