expend 
daily.  Even 
when heavily 
loaded 
with learning tasks, they 
exert themselves 
for outdoors and group activities. They 
gather  for  sport  activities  and  concerts,  but  seldom  review  their  textbooks  after  school.  Given  these 
elements, the top priority for educators is to maximise students' contact with academic classes at school 
and to recommend sports and music as extracurricular activities only. 
The above discussion favours a conclusion that sport and music classes should be cancelled so students 
are more  likely to commit themselves to  academic  courses, which are more important  to their future 
employability.
