Participating in student government should not be required in High School. There are many extra credit activities that may be a better fit for the student. By forcing them to be involved in it, they loose their right to chose and they wont be given the chance to participate in the activities they want to. If a student wants to be a writer or photographer and to persue this, they want to join yearbook, they wouldn't be able to because of the time involved for being in student government.
