text: Being included in extracurricular activities is mentally and physically draining for both students and teachers. All students wake up at six or earlier in the morning to go to school. Teenagers my age and older need sleep because we are in the growing process, so having to do something extra is not practical. Teachers already teach multiple classes throughout the day. Having another class to look after is not very beneficial. Students already come home from a long day at school and have to do more studying and homework. I usually dont sleep a lot, but yesterday when I came back from school I fell asleep at six in the evening! Participating in extracurricular activities has many negative effects, and one is that it causes students to be very tired.
