Rejected petition Less homework for children in high school aged 11-16
Because children spend just over 30 hours a week in school and are then expected to go home to do homework and therefore struggle to find the time to do more active things like sports or hobby’s because they have to go home and spend time every night doing work that they have been doing all week
