Petition Make it illegal for schools to give students more than 1 hour of homework a week

Homework puts unwanted pressure on school pupils, the school day is already long enough and children are missing out on their home life due to homework. Homework that they get punished for if they don't do it, often after school detentions, eating into precious social time with family and friends.
