Rejected petition All SCHOOLS should re-start the school year, in September.

The school year should repeat, completely cancelling out the last school year they have missed out on.
Causing no disruptions.
And less pressure for all the students who are graduating.
This is the fairest option all of our children deserve.

More details

I would like the children to be able to rest, make the most of this dreadful time.
Instead our children could fall behind due to parents not being teachers.
Meaning all children starting the next year are basically already falling behind.
All children set to start secondary school aren't in anyway prepared.
They have missed the vital parts to their year, meaning this is alot more pressure on our children.
They can also have thier proms. And leavers parties. Which they have worked so hard for.
