Like schools in Britain and other English speaking countries, those in the U.S have also always
stressed
"character" or "social"
sk

s through extracurricular activities, including organised sports.
Because
most
schools start at around 8 o'clock every morning and classes often do not finish until 3 or 4
o'clock in
the
afternoon, such activities mean that many students do not return home until the early
evening. There
is
usually a very broad range of extracurricular activities available. Most schools, for
instance, publish
their
own student newspapers, and some have their own radio stations. Almost all
have student orchestras,
bands,
and
choirs.

Many different sports are also available and most schools share their facilities - swimming pools,

tennis
courts, tracks, and stadiums - with the public. Often the students themselves organize and support
school
activities and raise money through car washes, baby-sitting, or by mowing lawns. Parents and
local
business
often also help a group that, for example, has a chance to go to a state music
competition, to compete
in
some sports championship, or take a camping trip. Such activities not
only give pupils a chance to
be
together outside of normal classes, they also help develop a feeling of
"school spirit" among the students
and
in the
community.
