School sports and after school activities such as football, baseball, band, and driver's education are being taken away from students. Not only do after school programs get cut but in school technology such as heaters and office refrigerators are being removed from the school to save money on electricity. Some school are put down with tough decisions like shortening the school year to save money as well. Losing sports and band activities can affect the life of a student who is trying to pursue a job or career in that matter.
i chose this story because i believe strongly in school having after school activities such as sports and band are important for a student to have available to them and because I've been involved in sports for numerous years. I like and agree with this article because ts gets straight to the point of what's going on in our school systems.
