text: Another reason students should not be forced into doing extracurricular activities is because they might have more important things to do. Imagine with me for a second. Pretend that you are a student and you have a very big test tomorrow and you need to study. Unfortunately, you cannot study because you are forced to go to an activity. It is things like this that are the problem, if students have family visiting or something else important going on, they will not be able to show up because they are forced to go to a sport or to an art club.
