text: Like I said this decision can go either way. Doing extracurricular activities can also be a bad thing becasue it can take up time. A lot of students have a busy scheduele that they just dont have time for activities. For example, students could have other things they need to do at home like taking care of younger siblings, having a lot of homework to do, or preparing for a test. It could also be that a lot of students are independent and they just dont feel like working with other people. I remember that when I was younger I didn't like working with other kids, I was very independent. I didn't like when I was forced to do things with other kids. Since some students feel this way it would be a little sad that some kids would have be forced to do something that they dont like to do.
