Some parents believe that their children should do extracurricular activities after school. Others say in this way children are under pressure. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
While
many people
are convinced that extracurricular activities
are necessary for children
after school, some people
argue that they should decrease the stress
level of their children
. In my opinion, I consider that extra-curricular activities
help students
to improve their own skills for their future life.
On the one hand, some people
support the opinion that students
who join extra-curricular activities
often develop their character which may be useful in the future, and I agree.That is
to say, students
usually will be forced to learn social skills and teamwork which academic subjects do not teach. For example
, children
who need to complete their group work should push themselves to communicate with others. Moreover
, joining extra-curricular activities
, such
as sports may help people
to reduce their stress
levels and possess other skills at the same time.
On the other hand
, it is commonly believed that it is better if children
are not involved in any extra-curricular activities
after school. As people
, everyone has their own right to choose their interests, so students
who prefer to focus only on their academic subjects should not be forced to participate in extra activities
. Forcing extra-curricular activities
on children
does not promote any independence or autonomy, only would be counterproductive.Furthermore
, some students
are already overloaded with their homework. If they keep joining extra activities
, it will increase their stress
level. For instance
, students
who are given daily homework will have a lot of stress
because ,by the time they reach home, they will be too tired to work on their assignments.
In conclusion, while
people
may vary in their opinion.I think that students
should consider their own abilities and time to decide whether to participate in extracurricular activities
or not.Submitted by s_syedy on
