Co Curricular Activities - Boon or Bane?
CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES : BOON OR BANE?
Seminar, trainings, workshops, cultural and sports activities are some of the many tasks the students get involved in school which we call co-curricular activities. This involves actual learning of real life situations where students involve in the process and learn the process of the different activities.
In a sense, co-curricular activities prepare students practically for the future which provide opportunities for students to work in teams, to exercise leadership, and to take the initiative themselves. Most co-curricular activities are physically active, getting the student out from behind their desk and making them try new things which is healthy and ensures that students are exposed to practical tasks, not just what is taught in class.
Co-curricular activities are nice, but they have never been shown to actually play a vital role in a student’s life which now became harmful to their studies because students were overwhelmed of the fun they get in the many activities they were involved.
Aside from that, student participants are excused from their classes and given the highest possible score. With this, they also exempt themselves from self-studying because of the freebies they enjoyed in the classroom.
In addition, students are aware of the DepEd Memorandum which excuses them from classes and should maintain their grades in every subject area if ever they get a lower grade in a particular grading period where they represented the school.
Thus, mediocre students take for granted their studies for they are contented of the passing grades they will be receiving.
On the other hand, honor roll students find it difficult to focus on two things: studies and activities. The activities divide their attention and focus in their studies even though they are given the highest possible score. Sometimes, they can’t attend lectures and missed their class because of the activity and they find it difficult to cope
