Is it true that if you do and extra curricular activity, it is shown that student do better in school?

Answer 1

I feel that extra curricular activities do help kids do better in school. Extra curricular activities help stimulate the minds and find ways of doing something better. If you take a student that is not in an extra curricular activity and compare that person to one that is...you will find that the person's brain is always learning and is always processing things from the day if not week before. But when you take students that are not in a sport, you have to look one step farther and see why they are not in a sport. Is it because they have to work to help support a family or is it because the parents have to work two full time jobs to support the family because they are a single parent rasing child(ren) on their own, or just because the student comes from a bad background and the parents are lazy and dont' want to take their kids to do extra curricular activities, or because the parents sit there and push their child(ren) all the way through elementary and junior high school, so the student doesn't like sports.

In my mind I think that children do better over all if they were involved in something out side of home and school.

Answer 2

I would say true, not because the extra credit actually made you test better, but the brain is a muscle; the more you use it the stronger it gets. So in theory extra credit in math would be helping you excell in social studies.

Answer 3

There is no universal truth like that statement that is 100% correct all of the time....with that said, in general, I would agree with it as it is no secret that most schools require that you maintain a certain GPA in order to participate.
That GPA is not super high and varies from state to state and probably school to school but NO one that is failing several would be allowed to particpate in after school activites if the school is a public school.
