Why We Shouldn T Encourage Students To Have Extracurricular Activities

A wise man once said, "In life you can't force people to do something they don't want to do, or be someone they're not. You have to let people be who they are." In this quote, they are explaining how people should be able to live the life they want to that fits their standards and goals. Not living or doing something because others may believe can help you, because only you know what is best for you. This is one of the main reasons why I think it shouldn't be required of students to participate in an extracurricular activity. Furthermore, because it can create multiple financial burdens, rebellion in the school community, and it will cause more hurt than intended help.

Clearly in our world, money does not grow on trees and nothing is free.

If it is a sport, then they would have to pay for more uniforms and sports equipment. It may even affect the parents if the course is requiring you to have certain supplies. Although the school may bring home some nice trophies, the county rules for a team maximum still remain and that will cause lots of feelings to be hurt. The schools will also have to pay for the coaches and staff that will be giving up their valuable time to tend to these students. There are not too many good teachers and coaches out there that like doing their job so much that they will teach hundreds of them, in their little free time that they do have, for free.

If their kid comes home upset and telling them how they feel forced to be doing this, then most likely the parent will be at the school the next day. Something else that might boost them to want to talk to the administration would be that these activities could be interfering with their family time. Or if the parent had something planned for the child to do after like volunteer work, church events, appointments, etc. So rather than the administration being so focused on the kids happiness, they would have to be dealing with a vast amount of phone calls, conferences, and emails on a daily basis. Causing them to also lose focus from their actual teaching or administering job. Furthermore on the kids feelings, if certain kids feel forced or like they don't want to do it then surely they will not do it. Which means they won't be showing up to any of the courses or not be participating while they're there. Therefore, a discipline system would have to be made for
