Many schools have all sorts of extracurricular activities ,

but there are still students who don't participate in any .

Although teachers try so hard to push students into these activities ,

some just don't want to or can't .

My principal has made a rule saying that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular ,

and this rule is completely unjust .

The principal should not be allowed to force students into participating when they don't want or need to .

The word extracurricular has 'extra' in it for a reason .

Students can choose to ,

but don't have to participate in them .

If a student doesn't want to be in any of the extracurriculars the school offers ,

the principal has no right to force the student to do it anyway .

Extracurriculars are not mandatory ,

and therefore shouldn't be forced onto the students .

For some students ,

it's not that they don't want to participate ,

it's that they can't .

Many students have jobs and other responsibilities to take care of after they get out of school .

They have siblings ,

pets and themselves to take care of .

The students who don't join any extracurriculars might have other things they need to do with their time out of school and the principal shouldn't take it away .

I highly disagree with my principals decision ,

because students either don't want to or don't have the time to participate .

Students shouldn't be forced to do something they didnt choose to do .

It is not up to the principal what students do out of school because at that time the school is not responsible of them anymore .

Students can choose for themselves whether or not to be in a extracurricular activity .
