HomeWork 42- More thinking

Question: How does extracurricular activities affect how a student learns in school. The definition of an extracurricular activity is something done outside of a normal school day. I would say than no matter what kind of "Extracurricular activities" a student participates in, it would have no affect on how a student learns.

Since school is only about 8 hours a day in my life, what do i do in that other 16hours than our affect my learning, would it be helpful or hurtful to students if they spent all the time outside of school having leisure time? What would going on facebook, or other social networks do to student and how a person learns in school, the next day.

Through out my life i have tried many different of activities outside of school, from sleeping to sports to academic. But i have never as a person knew why schools offer these opportunities and how they would affect me as a student. I have always know parents and teachers telling students how important school is, but do these things really help us or hinder us and, i as a student want to find out.
