text: School and homework itself causes students stress, if you were to add another activity for school, students would stress even more. We have a lot of things to do in our everyday lives such as, attending school, doing homework, spending quality time with friends and family, and attending sports teams. All these activities add up to hours and hours of your day. School is 6 hours and 45 minutes, homework will take you 1-3 hours, and sports practices are usually 1 hour and 30 minutes. You never know how much time you're going to spend with friends and family. Not only that but you need free time and sleep! To add an extra activity to all of that would just be absurd. You would be falling apart at the end of the day if you had to fit in time for an extracurricular activity. Repeating this until the weekend would just be absolutely miserable.
