> Should my child get involved in extracurricular activites?
Activities are a valuable education tool. Statistics show that students who participate in activity programs tend to have higher grades, better attendance records, more self-confidence, school spirit, lower drop-out rates, and fewer disciplinary problems. Activity programs provide valuable lessons in many practical situations: teamwork, sportsmanship, winning and losing, hard world. Through participation in activity programs students learn self-discipline, build self-confidence, and develop skills to handle competitive situations. Selective colleges look for participation in extracurricular activities on a student's transcript.
