Restricted Curricular Activities
The principal of my school has just announced that every student has to be involved in an extracurricular activity after school. A few of our options are drama club, Spanish and French club, nerd herd, and art club, and many more. At my school, students can choose which extracurricular they will be put in, in my case, I chose an activity outside of school. I'm at dance 6 hours a week and sometimes more, and this new requirement would cut into my time completely! Plus, I would be overwhelmed with all of that dance plus school activity, plus homework and chores that I have to get done. I disagree that kids should have to do school activities because it gives students' a restricted schedule, it will affect your grades, and it causes fights.

Most people in high school have jobs, so it would be difficult for them to work around that and have to change their schedule. If they can't manage a way around it, then they would have to quit their job and won't make any money. Additionally, most boys and girls through elementary, middle, and high school do some kind of sport, no matter if it's dance, softball, basketball, soccer, lacrosse, and many more. Doing sports takes a lot of time and commitment, and if we have after school activities we most likely would have a hard time doing sports with it. With sports, homework, possibly jobs, and maybe hard things going on at home, that is way too much on one kids plate. Having all that to do would make me stressed a lot and it would be hard for me to focus on all of that at one time. When people get stressed, it's hard to sleep, and eat, and then they become depressed, nobody wants that for there life.
Another reason why we shouldn't have to participate in activities because it potentially could affect our grades. When kids are looking forward to something later on in the day, it's hard to focus on school work when your'e worried about something more entertaining and fun, so then it causes us to lose focus and our grades drop. If we have after school stuff to do, normally when we get home, we do homework, and then we have to eat and get stuff done like chores, showers, and sports, therefore we wouldn't have time for homework, and that also would make our grades
