Now I am confused. After school activities are generally a. for an additional cost to the student. or

b. free of charge, compliments of the board of ed. Since when (maybe I am answering my own question) is it necessary to pay students to attend an activity?

So, if it is necessary to pay for attendance, that is a very sad statement. It is like the N.Y. Jets paying some fans to attend a game late in the season in the rain. (also sad)

If one wants to coerce students, perhaps follow a policy my high school shop class teacher offered.

Students who clean up their tools and sawdust before the bell rings get their choice of a free donut.

This really worked. Of course, that was in the 1980's. Presently, it may be illegal since sugar is harmful, the lard used is not vegan friendly, and providing free sugar to some discriminates against diabetics.
