text: Making the decision of forcing students to do extracurricular activities will decrease their will to work, increase cost for schools, and need time to breathe. Why should students be forced to do something they don't want to and will harm the school's budget? Students need choice and need to enjoy life without someone forcng them to do something they don't like. Thats why overall, students shouldn't be forced to do extracurricular activities.Everytime students hear the word school they all have a similar reaction: "why school." This reaction is due to the rigor of work school puts on students' backs and the repetition of constant learning. In order to give students time away, they are given three months of summer break which spans from June - August. During this time many kids choose not to continue learning and a negative effect of this is knowledge and memory decay. In order for their minds to be stimulized and conditioned to learn once school begins, schools are requiring students to complete summer projects. The summer projects should be designed specifically by students because they will be able to acquire knowledge in a way that interests them and express their ideas without being limited by a teacher, on the other hand teacher-designed projects would be beneficial to students because the content created by teachers is consistent with the content learned during the school year.
