Rejected petition I wish for Students to have mental health days to take off.
Students have been under stress of GCSE and A-levels and I understand that this can cause a lot of problems within day to day life for students, students need days to help unwind and to release stress, I personally believe that this will increase quality of life and help students mental problems.
