text: Forcing students to do some type of activity besides school should not be allowed because what if that child does not have a ride home and the school does not provide transportation. Having to do sports or student council and yearbook along with school could put a load of stress on that child which is never good for a kids mental health. I understand that the principal just wants his or her students to have a healthy life but the choice of if students should be forced to have to participate in an extracurricular activity should not be made by them.
