text: From the principal's point of view, I can understand that students should not be lazy. To prove that, students should be participating in extracurricular activities because they may have nothing to do but play their games. However, that only consumes more of students' free time. To support it, assignments and homework are known to take up a huge chunk of time. They have already been a problem, so why add another conflict that students have to worry about? Students could be using free time to finish their assignments and homework instead of the extracurricular activities they have to do.
