text: Let us start with the first problem, the schedules. It is no secret that students today are busy with all sorts of activities. The principal knows this, yet he insists that we add one more to the mix. Forcing kids to add another activity to their already full schedule will only cause problems. Students may struggle to keep up with all of their activities, or they may have to give up something they love to make room for a school mandated activity. You may argue that many students have completely empty schedules, so this will not harm them. To that I say no. Many students do have nothing on their schedule, but that is okay. School is stressful and maybe these students just want to relax with their free time. If that is what they want to do then I think they should be able to do that. Just as students with a full schedules should not have to push aside their own activities for school mandated ones.
