Rejected petition Year 10 GCSEs should be cancelled due to covid-19!

Year 10 GCSEs should also be cancelled due to covid-19 lockdown.

More details

Year 10 GCSEs should also be cancelled due to covid-19 lockdown and not been given all the revision time they can get.
Even though they are on lockdown not all teenagers are prioratising their work and focusing because teenagers won't do work without having a teacher checking on their work and given out sanctions for incomplete work.
I am a year 10 student who struggles and stresses about my future GCSEs and failing because I don't understand work being set online.
