School Is A Waste Considering Education Is Mandatory

When students participate in extracurricular activities they learn lessons and concepts of leadership, teamwork, organization, analytical thinking, problem solving, and time management. In high school if a student wants to do a sport or other activity they will pick the activity that they like and enjoy. This is the kind of decision making skill that could help determine the type of career path for a student. By participating in extracurricular activities youth can find something they enjoy learn to use this in a career. “Participating in certain extracurricular activities having to do with the field that the student is interested in could help them find a job. If someone is looking at a resume for a potential employee, and they see they have experience or interest in what they are looking for, they will be more likely to hire that person” (Massoni). Having been apart of a particular extracurricular activity can be a positive influence in a job resume. This will cause students to find a new ambition in a career. Even on college applications these activities will affect if a student will be accepted, and in some circumstances many activities can earn a student thousands of dollars in scholarships (Massoni). Extracurricular activities can benefit students in teaching them long term commitments. When youth participate in

With the expectations set for students by parents, high schools, and colleges, students find themselves in difficult positions. Should they study for a test or try to get a few hours of sleep? Does a homework assignment take priority over an extracurricular competition? About

In high schools today, most seniors are piled down with work and fatigued from after school activities and jobs. On average, most students spend 7-8 hours in school and most have after school jobs which they work for at least 6 hours. Most teachers and parents would say it’s because they’re in preparation for college and adult life. High school seniors are tensed and stressed because they are trying their best to succeed and make something out of themselves. But how can they do that if they have such busy schedule?

Some activities may require an attendance of once a week, while some require three days a week. Activities that requires strong commitment, such as soccer and basketball, are not only time consuming but are also physically and mentally draining. For example, a student maybe required to attend training for four hours a day and three times a week. By the time the student returns home, he would be extremely tired after attending school for six hours followed by strenuous four hours of training. Furthermore, the student would have to spend another one to two hours completing assignments that are due the next day. Hence, teenagers would not have any time to sit back, be relaxed and be bored as they would be busy trying to balance the limited amount of time needed for both studies and after-school

As students were forced into their growth of knowledge in elementary school and middle school by continuously being taught basics, in order to prepare them for high school and beyond, they get to gain their freedom and decide whether or not they want to meet their teachers’ marks in high school. Throughout the school year, there comes a time where students have to sign up for classes. By having this choice, students can decide on how they want to challenge themselves in the next school year. During my two and a half years of high school that I have conquered so far, I learned that in a classroom setting there are students who take advanced courses, enjoy the subjects that they chose to take, and try their best to get the best grades that they can receive, in order to prepare them for their future in adulthood. However, there are also students who do not try or realize the importance of the free education given to them because they do not have an interest in the subjects that teachers are teaching them or are just being forced by their students to attend school. Some teachers try their best to bring out the motivation in these students who do not yet see that education is power and freedom, but there are also teachers who ignore these helpless students that are blinded by the present things that affect them like popularity or living with the motto that “you only live once”, because these teachers do not have the inspiration in the

Play less and study more! Due to global increase in competition, kids today are forced to achieve very high grades or secure very high percentages. Students are so worried about grades and position that neither they have anytime for themselves nor for any extracurricular activities. They suffer from several disorders such as depression and emotional disorders. Academic subjects and extra-curricular activities complement each other and develop a well-rounded, socially skilled, and healthier student. There are so many possible extra-curricular activities that each student can choose one those appeals to him or her personality. Extra-curricular activities help to develop the whole student

The goals I proposed throughout high school helped me give back to society and developed me as a person. When I decided to dedicate myself to extra-curricular activities it wasn’t simple because I faced financial difficulty within my family and living in a single parent household but I managed to take on the challenge of balancing the difficult environment I was raised in and achieving my educational goals.

For some people, it may be difficult to manage time in order to keep up with school and still be involved with extracurricular activities. However, for myself, this was not the case. I have been involved in the Slippery Rock University Winter Guard since my freshman year, which requires much dedication and commitment. Competing in local and even international level competitions across the country, the dedication required for membership in the guard is extraordinary. My commitment to the winter guard as well as my determination in my studies has allowed me to prime my time management skills to be successful in both areas without compromising the quality of my efforts in either one. Moreover, I have also been involved in numerous volunteer opportunities including Special Olympics, therapeutic horseback riding, and sled hockey. I also have a job at the Student Health Center. Although I keep myself very busy, I have managed to maintain an overall GPA of 3.5. Through my shadowing experiences in physical therapy, I have seen that some days can be fast-paced; therefore, it is important to have the ability to manage time in order to accomplish everything effectively and

Now a days technology is improving and students are staying at home, not being active. Extra-curricular activities are beneficial to someone’s life and discovers new skills for the individual. “One of the great benefits of extracurricular activities is creating new opportunities to learn and think about themselves to learn what they like and don’t like,” (Starett, 2011). This is why extra-curricular activities are important to help determine the individual discover skills that are suited for them, but time management is key to be able to participate in extra-curricular activities. “Decide which method works best for you: an agenda book for an electronic calendar and use it consistently,” (www.yrdsb.ca, 2015).

Extracurricular activities are a demention of schooling that can be negatively influenced by year-round schooling. Most students are involved in extracurricular activities during the Summer, when they have more free time. Yet, thanks to the year-round calender, children do not have the opportunities to perform these extracurricular tasks. Students should be able to enjoy themselves just as much as they should be able to get an education. Also, teachers managing extracurricular activities observed similar difficulties adapting these actvities into the year-round schedule, just

President Barack Obama believes that one way we can increase our grades is by going to school longer. He believes that he can achieve this by changing the school calendar. Some school districts are even considering changing their school calendars so that their students will go to school during the summer. However, I believe that we shouldn’t go to school during the summer for many reasons.

While sports are a great way for kids to stay active, there are some alternative choices if children are not having fun with the sport. There are many of after school activities in which they can get involved once they are in junior high and high school. As a seventh grader or twelfth grader, there are many opportunities to participate in non-sport activities. These activities include drama, photography, Key Club, yearbook, D.E.C.A, Auto Club, Leadership, and much more.

It is important for adolescents to participate in extracurricular activities. Student who participate in these activities improve their academic scores and social life. Extracurricular activities can also help reduce many peer pressure related problems. “They enrich the lives of the students, their families and our communities. These activities create well rounded children who learn what their interests and talents are because they have been exposed to such opportunities” (Extracurricular Activities, Blogadmin). For most adolescents extracurricular activities should be required among what they do outside of school.

Around school and wherever we go we are surrounded by companies. While corporate sponsorship of schools, particularly, high school and colleges, would lead to increase improvement of deteriorating equipment and lead to new program funding, in the end, the defective overweighs the new. While there are positive outcomes, in the end, with a massive sponsorship there is a biased opinion toward the company, weakening schools credibility and creating a sense of debt toward the company, causing anger and unenrollment. It makes more damage and therefore should be abolished.
