text: STUDENT_NAMEHaving to stay after school without a choice, right after an eight hour stressing school day is the very definition of miserable, is what some might say. Students should be able to choose whether or not to participate in activities that are extracurricular. Extra curricular activities are activities that are extra, not required. Requiring students to participate in extracurricular activities should not be done because activities should not be forced, students already spend eight hours a day at school, and don't have the time or transportation.
