text: People who don't like extracurricular activities say that requiring students to join out-of-school activities deprives them of time after school to complete homework. Generic_Name, a mother of 5 kids that participate in extracurricular activities, says "all 5 of my children come home from their after school activities at 6:00PM and have to be in bed by 7:30PM, leaving them only hour to eat dinner, take showers, complete their homework, and finish their chores." Jameson is saying that her kids don't have enough time to do everything they have to do after school because of their participation in after school activities. However, students can still participate in extracurricular activities and have time after school for things such as homework and chores. The Virginia Directory of Public Schools, the group that runs and regulates all of Virginia's schools, published a study, determining that 90% of schools offer extracurricular activities not only after school but also before school. In other words, most schools give students the option for out-of-school activities both before school and after. Due to that, extracurricular activities do not deprive students of time to complete their homework after school.
